Spiritual Warfare
its like a war.. yet no one gets hurt physically
everyone gets hurt emotionally... which is somewhat worse
nowadays everyone is getting caught up in the materialistic things in the world that we forget the little things that we take for granted everyday (even me)
we try to fight off the attcks on our own
not knowing that behind us there are people willing to help us tide over this tough times
we continue struggling...
yet do not call out for help
we do our best but gets brought down again
again and again
'you're not good enough' someone says
'you suck' another
everyone is against you - or so you think
still not noticing the quiet army waiting behind for your command
finally you break down under the pressure
and finally someone says your name........
echoing it softly over and over again
bringing comfort to you and your troubles
finally you realised wat you hav missed out in the first place
you put on the armour set down for you
and somehow while fitting it on...
you feel a new sense of belonging swelling up inside you, filling the empty space that has been aching and haunting you for the past few weeks
tears swelling in your eyes, you try to fight them back
'i'm strong enough i'm strong' you tell yourself over and over again, unknowingly letting the self torture continue on
'why are you doing this to yourself my child,' you feel a hand on your back
'cos i'm strong enough i can take it'
'you have your personal limits. you are not God. let it go my child. Let It Go.'
tears started falling down my eyes now
i could not help it, i could not stop them and yet somehow i begun to feel lighter
drying my tears, i stood up bravely
suddenly i felt so FULL
so full of His power
that i could over come anything being thrown at me
i walked towards the front of the battleline, knowing that i had support from the back and that i had tried my best to win....
entrusting my all to God... we charged
Giving our all for the glory of Him, just like He did for us
" The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him and i am helped. My heart leaps for joy and i will give thanks to Him in song" Psalm 28:7
