Ease: Prologue

One day I saw Jesus,
standing on a mountaintop.
I was climbing up to Him,
on a craggy steep difficult,
no-path-in-sight kind of way.

He reached out with His right arm, and helped me up;
to stand with Him.

We've stood there for what feels like a very long,
very craggy,
time.

I have from the first moment known:
We were waiting, watching,
as you made your way to join us.

This morning I saw you standing there too.
Assured.
Feet on solid ground.
Strong. Sure.

Easy.

You and I have seen our fair share of war,
the training ground for battlefields our minds cannot conceive.
This mountaintop though?
It's ours. The three of us, easy, we.
