God Don't Play About You

Some things you’ve been through? Only you and God know the full weight. But here’s what I’ll say: God don’t play about you. And when you listen to this one, you’ll feel that in your bones. If you’ve been carrying a lot lately — quietly, heavily — come take this pause. Come take this pause with me — let me remind you why God don’t play about you, even when it felt like everything was falling apart. Let’s sit together for a few minutes and talk about what’s already been held, what didn’t take you out, and what still has your name on it. Got a story about what it’s cost you to be the strong one? We’re collecting real, lived stories for the 26 Black Women Storytelling Series, and we want to hear yours.
