β€œThen God said, β€œLet Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness...". Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭26‬ ‭NKJV

You gave us Your

heart, mind and soul

so that we would

know You

You gave us nine gifts to

teach us

heal us

protect us

from the one who

breaches our

Innocence to

steal us

kill us

destroy us

physically

emotionally

spiritually

not with horns

but with a

veneer of

irresistible

experiential mirror

all the right

words and acts

to keep us

blinded

deafened

broken

damaged

hopeless

convinced

isolated

exploited

imprisoned

blurring lines

repelling Light

β€œFor we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬ ‭NKJV

But You already knew

that we would be

hijacked by

fear

doubt

hurt

deceit

mistrust

deviance

so You gave us

Your mighty weapon

to fight back

Discernment

seeing

knowing

hearing the call

to repel the arrows

to stand between

Innocence

and malintent

no matter what

the cost because

Your promise is

our shield

Your Word is

our sword

Your Love is

our heartbeat

May we be brave

enough to withstand

the attacks and

bold enough to

battle against the

legions of archers

of this world.

AMEN.

    For if our God is for us, who can stand against us.
