wanting to stop but not believing you are strong enough

Let the Ground Hold You Tonight

The day is ending, and the weight of it is pressing down on shoulders that feel too tired to hold anything else. You want to stop.

You want to lay the burden down. But a quiet voice whispers that you are not strong enough to let go, that if you stop, everything will fall apart.

The light does not ask for your strength tonight. It only asks for your honesty.

There was a woman who was told her many sins were forgiven because she loved much, and she walked away not carrying the stone anymore, but carrying peace. You do not have to be the one who holds it all together.

The strength you lack is not required; the light is already here, waiting for you to simply exhale. Stop trying to be the pillar.

Let the ground hold you.

Drawing from

Luke 7:47, Gospel of Thomas 50
