“Strong”

This is strong.

And they don’t know

That strength builds

as surrender grows.

And knees are bruised

in kneeling prayer.

Where Jesus comes

And meets us there.

Strong is the silence,

When there is much to say.

But wisdom holds the tongue,

As emotions melt away.

And strong are the broken,

In grief, or pain, or fear.

When lost they find,

Jesus is always here.

Strong to cry out.

Strong to let go.

Strong to stand back.

Strong is all I know.

Keep Christ in His place

And fall in kingdoms line.

To be first is to be last,

And stronger all the time.

I'm someone who has always had a deep passion for literature and writing. From a young age, I've been captivated by the power of words and the way they can transport us to different worlds, open our minds to new ideas, and connect us with people and experiences that are distant from our own. Whether it's immersing myself in a classic novel, jotting down my thoughts in a journal, or crafting my own creative stories, writing and literature have always been an essential part of my life. I'm excited to continue exploring this rich and rewarding field, and to share my thoughts and insights with others who share my love for all things literary.
