Burning on the mountainside
It's as if I had climbed a mountain with pure motives and strong intentions Once I arrived at the top, I admired the beauty This beauty that could only be described by the word "awe" Slowly but surely, some of my own struggles began to build up on this mountainside These things began to create some barriers It grew, and grew, and grew. Until one day, the Lord said "Do you still know me? Or do you know me through the lense of yourself?" At which point, we set ablaze everything that was of me to burn and purify. This burning on the mountainside has been painful. How could this ever be anything that reflects the image of God? Well, I'm at ground zero, and the beauty here is magnificent.
