Love Poem: So Much

So Much

So much of being a Christian
is insecurity.
walking on water.
hardship.

Hardship from breaking
shells of society's embrace.
Walking on water
by our faith.
Insecurity in wealth
as well as going out on a limb.

So much of being a Christian
takes perseverance.
requires determination.
is being different.

Is being different from others
who love superficially.
Requires determination in direction
and determination in removing pride.
Takes perseverance through trials
as well as in ourselves--preserving the true us.

Being a Christian takes so much of me
I will be determined to bear fruit on me.
