The Battlefield; Your Servant

When I became a Christian..
Nothing much was missin'.

I had everything I needed to have a sane mind.
now there is nothing I would find in this world that is better than the love of Jesus Christ.

Nothing is better.
if you mark it off as sillyness, it is you who is the regretter.

When I became a Christian, I didn't know what was in store.
I looked up to the sky, and asked God to take my life.
and if possible, more.

so he did..
and now I'm that kid.
you know..

The "religious" one.
won't shut up about Jesus.

You know what is funny?
I feel absolutely sane..

people would rather take the actions of Christ, shove down their drain, and call it a night.

I had no idea that when I became a Christian, I would have to put up a fight.

I had to stand against certain things.

I didn't really know that.

I was just getting strong in Christ,
and all of a sudden, a bullet from satan fires at me..
and before you know it, I'm rushin' to get my battle armor on.

I was not even ready.

Satan doesn't wait until your ready.
He is Satan! why would he do that?

Satan would peek at a hide-and-go seek game.
That is how poor-sportish he is.
Trust me.. he is no fun to play with.

I rushed as quick as possible, fastening my belt of truth..
my helmet of salvation..
my breastplate of righteousness.

I start to put it all on..

I realize that I am hated..
degrated..
looked down upon..
by the whole world.

I am only fully accepted by this tiny group of people.
and only some of them.

They are fighting this beside me.

that is all I have(besides Christ, of course)

It is literally us... against the world.

the christians are the real rebels.

Real hated individuals..
But real loved as well.

Some of us are a little crazy.. not fighting, just pretending everything is swell..
while they are suffering deep to the core.

I want to shake them, let them know that there is so much more to worry about than looking pretty on the outside..

We are fighting a vicious battle daily..
during everyday life.

Atheists shooting evolution bullets...
my shield of faith will block that.

God's truth won't seem to bust a tooth, they are ruthless and prideful.

This is the part where I want to hide...

full of fear, shedding tear after tear..

go back to retreat..
and Jesus's nailed hands and feet keep me renewed..

He comes like a shock wave of Joy.

He gives me patience and peace like I've never experienced.

The battle is on again..
Unitarian Universalist?

Nice idea, but in the end, sick.

Think of what to say, Emily.. Think.. Think quick!

What can I say to this guy?
Why doesn't he accept Christ?!

He just nods sarcastically at me like Christ isn't totally worthy of everything..

it's very hard to convince recruiters...
to give up the entire world..

and fight against it.

while I am in battle..
I see you from afar, Father.

You are up on the cross..
looking straight at me..

hands and feet bleeding.
spear stabbed through the side..

You died and rose again for me.
So I can gain access to that marvolous place.

Such grace..

I need to hide my face..

but I will keep on fighting..
no matter what it costs me.

Because it costed you your life.
so I will give up mine for you..

everything is possible through you.
Real joy is plausible for those who know you.

I am here for you.
My battle gear is on for you.

my listening ear is listening for you.
If my pride shall overcome my faith stride..
convict, guide, and teach me.

I know it was mighty hard to reach me for a long time.
But Here I am.
Here am I..

with eyes almost about to cry...
for this world.

i want to help out everyone.
My own strength cannot sustain the weight of the world.

So with that, I know you can pick up the world with your pinky finger.
so why linger and worry and try to fix the world myself, in a hurry?

the logical thing is to give my troubles to you.
the wisest thing is to pray to you..

the greatest source of power that is.

You were, are, and always will be.

So with that, I am free to fasten my seatbelt.
and be your servant..
At any cost.
