Poetry: Limitations exist only to the limited, or do they?

Some say we create our own limitations,
and yet are we the ones who created this World?
No, limitations are built into the system, conferred.
We live with them best, by our seeing this truth.
Our beliefs have no power against what is.
We cannot hold our breath, and expect to still live.
We are not separate from all there is in one way,
but as ourselves we remain ourselves, within God.
Love has no limitations to what it must do in you.
You limit love with yourself, not with anything true.
The life of love must be allowed to be fully only itself,
then you fly past all limits, that are limiting you as you.

Is God just the ultimate flagman?
Does God limit us in our lives, or not?
God gives us limits so that we might strive to overcome them, as best we can do so.

God does not present us problems which we cannot solve in unison but we tend to pull down each other creating our own hurdles.
We have limitations physically, especially our health is not in our hands only, but mentally we have power though not unlimited. Then the spiritual angle comes in to punch above our weight.
Love broadens our vision and then all hurdles break down but that has been a hard act to imbibe in our daily life as we tend to be miserly with the most basic factor that oils our relationships

Yes, with all of the pettiness of competition, democracy falls apart, because of the greed, the cheating, and the need to win, at any costs.
Love never tries to win; it just loves, and then, everything that love touches turns into a winner then, anyway.

@Shiva49 Yes, time is important, and somebody else's hand seems to control the timing of most events here, be it God, our own soul, or some external timing force that God has placed in place to run the world according to his own timepiece.
When we love though, we align ourself and recalibrate ourselves to God's timepiece then too, and so we are no longer so frantic about the timings of things we see in the world either.
Love lifts us into God's time, or timeframe.

@innertalks Democracy has become a weapon in the hands of a few to manipulate the system and the citizens. This was highlighted in a dramatic way recently for the whole world to see and which was the norm in many poor countries.
We know about mother's love that is at the highest point we can experience everywhere. Then the unseen and, maybe, unappreciated god's love that holds creation together and forgives us through the passage of time which we know of and also what we take for granted.

Interesting.
Is God the ultimate flagman? I think the answer to that is yes. He gave us abilities and resources. What we do with them is limited only by our abilities, which always change as we learn more. God's love for us is limitless and unconditional. We are limited in knowing the full capacity of this love. We are finite people, where God is eternal, limitless. Therefore His love is limitless.
Does God limit us in our lives, or not? We are only limited according to our ability. As our abilities grow, our limits change.

As someone else said here, we all do seem to be limited in our physical abilities, but you said it well, "As our abilities grow, our limits change."
This growing into our abilities here, in this life, even applied to Jesus Christ, the son of God, himself.
" And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man."
Luke, chapter 2, verse 52.
The manifesting of our abilities, and the removal of limitations, seems to also depend on the right timing too, as in these other quotes of Jesus Christ.
John, chapter 2, verse 4:
"And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come."
John, chapter 7, verse 30:
"So, they were seeking to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come."

@innertalks Timing is everything. It doesn't seem like there should or would be limitations on Jesus, yet He needed to wait for the right time to accomplish His purpose.

@just4him Perhaps, time is not a limitation, as everything is measured, and happens in God's time too, when he plans for it to happen.
2 Peter, chapter 3, verses: 8-9
"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord, a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."

My belief is that one of us is perfect. But working to be perfect makes us excellent.

Yes, if we can strive for perfection, the possibility of that perfection must exist.
Also, the object of that perfection, which to my mind, must be God, must also exist.

Thanks. I like to give out some type of a message in my poetry too.
