Are You A Champion? Poem by Deidre Dixon

They come big and boisterous and arrogant and loud.
They try to get all of the energy and support from the crowd.

I'm talking about Dream Killers!

They look like they could pulverize and destroy and annihilate.
They have the size, the stature and they seem to be among the great.

I'm talking about Dream Killers!

Look at the battle between David and Goliath.
The Philistine seemed to have the advantage to begin with.

David, like your dreams, seemed to be so small.
But, David walked with authority and power that was tall.

God chose him to be the king of Israel, though no one would have thunk it.
After all, he was just a little shepherd boy out in the field who probably stunketh!

God wasn't looking at what David looked like on the surface.
He was looking at David's heart and knew he had purpose.

God knew that David was a Champion before he chose him.
He already knew David would defeat Goliath and astound them!

Them, those ones looking for David to fail.
Them, those ones who just knew this Giant would prevail!

This story about David is really a metaphor for you and me.
You might not think you are a Champion, but God can see.

You may not look the part or be the size you think you need to be.
How much faith do you have and how big is the Dream you do see?

You are a believer so there is a Lion in you!
It's not about your ability, but it's about what God can do through you!

Be courageous, go ahead and pursue the fight!
Knowing that it is by God's spirit you will win; not by your might.

Your destiny is before you and you are destined to win!
The question put before you now is, are you a Champion?
