Doing your job has to matter,
And hard work must become your pattern.
Your attitude must make a positive shift.
No matter how big the ocean,
You keep swimming, floating, and hoping.
It takes faith larger than giants,
To see the mountain and believe you can climb it.
Even when your talent is diamonds,
You must sharpen and prime it no matter the climate.
Sweat must form rivers and lips must quiver,
This means you’re dedicated and ready to deliver.
In this jungle one must rumble to be a great lion,
Your belief must meet your actions if you are a faith giant.
James 2:26
