Enduring Wisdom

A poem for those who build with tears and truth

Speak boldly
not with the noise of the crowd,
but with the hush that follows thunder.
Let your words be flint and fire,
a sword that cuts through compromise,
a balm that binds the broken.
Let your voice rise like incense
from the altar of conviction,
where prophets still burn
but do not bow.

Suffer faithfully
not as victims, but as vessels.
Let the ache become an anthem,
the silence, a sanctuary.
Wear your wounds like windows;
transparent, trembling,
but never ashamed.
For every tear is a testimony,
every scar a scroll
written in the ink of endurance.

Build communities
not of comfort, but of covenant.
Gather the exiles, the weary, the wild.
Make room for lament and laughter,
for questions and communion.
Lay foundations with forgiveness,
raise walls with wonder,
and crown the roof with righteousness.

Where Truth and Mercy kiss
there, the Kingdom breathes.
Not in the halls of power,
but in the hush of reconciliation.
Not in the noise of performance,
but in the quiet of presence.
There, justice dances with grace,
and peace is not the absence of conflict,
but the presence of Christ.

So speak, beloved.
Suffer.
Build.
And let your life be the place
where heaven leans low
and whispers,
“Well done.”
