I Am Done With... Rules

I am done with rules.

I am done with structures that aren't constructive, with guidelines that don't guide me to anything, and with trying to be strict and only ending up feeling constricted.

I am done with the law that brings death instead of life.

I am done with bowing down at the tree of knowledge of good and evil, of right and wrong, of playing God, instead of embracing life.

I am done with rules that don't lead to freedom.

I am done with governors, teachers, and administrators that are no longer necessary to enjoy the life of a son.

I am done with living like a slave in a land that is supposed to be my inheritance.

I am with every jot and tittle that makes me feel superior to someone else. I am done with following the letter and rejecting the spirit.

I am, quite simply, done with rules for rules' sake.

Rules for rules sake...

It a powerful thing to discover that sometimes the edges of the box were never where we thought they were.
