The Weight

.
Feeling the weight of God's presence
 is not like Him sitting upon your chest,
  but more like filling your lungs with air.
Feeling the weight of God's presence
 is not like a load upon your shoulders,
  but more like feeling a lift in your soul.
Feeling the weight of God's presence
 is not like pressing in from all around,
  but more a being one with everything.
Feeling the weight of God's presence
 is not like being blinded by bright light,
  but more a seeing things more clearly.
Feeling the weight of God's presence
 is not a blame that buckles your knees,
  but a washing away of all such shame.
Feeling the weight of God's presence
 is not like a wind that blows you down,
  but a wave of awe that blows you away.
Feeling the weight of God's presence
 is not like feeling you are the only one,
  but surrounded by many a holy witness.
Feeling the weight of God's presence
 is not fearing God's love will be taken,
  but instead a knowing it will never end.
Oh, that we all would feel the weight
 of God's matchless, eternal, and holy
  glory, desiring only to follow His steps
   through this world...all the way home.
