gravitas
What is this heavy weight pressing down on me?
Dear God remove it for I want to be free
from this stress, this mess, distress
I confess
I’m crumbling
Can’t You see?
…
Dear child, it is a heavy weight for you
because you’re still a lightweight in me
I will not lessen the weight nor take it away
Instead I’ll pour my kavod into you today
…
The heavy weight of life
is a gift from heaven
to develop
the weight of glory
in me
[Written after meditation on James 1]

I'm a pastor-husband-dad. This blog is a literary outlet for my thoughts & feelings. I hope all that is written here will ultimately point to His Redemption Story.

Haha, yes, it’s my humble attempt at a quasi-poem.
