On Burdens

A man often thinks his burden

is heavier than it should be.

Yet the often overlooked truth

is that you were made for it.

Not to carry everything, but

to carry what Justice demands.

That weight is the very thing

that builds your strength.

Lay it down too soon, and

the man within you weakens.

Carry it with patience, and

you discover you are stronger

than you thought.

Do not pray to be without weight.

Pray to carry it well.
