His Shoulders

Sometimes He carries me like a child

Laughing from atop His shoulders

Filled with joy

Sometimes He carries me like a lamb

Once lost now found 

Emanating love

Sometimes He carries me like a soldier 

Unable to move forward myself

He carries me through the battlefield

Sometimes He carries me like a cross

The weight of my world on His back

Each step painful, tiring

And filled with every ounce

Of His love for me


When all I can do 

Is hold tightly to the shattered pieces

He takes each piece

No matter how big or small

And puts me back together

Creating something more beautiful

It’s not easy or quick

Sometimes it’s painful beyond words

But He never stops

He never gives up on my healing

He never gives up on me


His mercy is constant, unchanging, immovable

His forgiveness provides safety

He is my place of peace

He is my place of rest

He is my surety

He gives me courage

He will never leave me

Even if I turn away from Him

He is steadfast by my side

Even when I try to do it all myself

He waits patiently

His love never ending and unconditional
