When life goes well, as for the present it does,
it does not seem difficult to deal with the question,
"Where is your God?"
If tears were to be my food, day and night,

Moses complained to you, complained about
the heavy burden he carried; and you eased
the burden, sharing it among others.
Paul must have felt a burden in trying to teach
the gospel, but he was not ashamed of it.
The heaviest burden was on the Son of Man,
and he carried it alone.
