I'll always be a ***** up and a mess

But my God recruited me to be one of his soldiers

I fail him every day

But because of his strength

I can stand alone

If the whole world comes for me with all of its armies

If I have to be like the prophet Elijah

Hunted

A wanted man

Then I will still stand

Because if I stand on the Lords side

He will stand for me

He is my rock and my salvation

Why do we as humans do this

We struggle with desires and pain

Yet we keep coming back for more

More burns more bruises

We walk straight into the fire that first destroyed us

It's like we don't know any better then to walk through the pain we wanted to leave behind

Why do we keep walking in circles

I hate circles

I just want to walk a line

Jesus gave us to walk in freedom

The fire keeps coming after us

But Jesus uses the fire to forge us

And he provides water to put out the fire

That's what I thought I was

Now that memory is full fuzz

I thought I was unworthy

I never thought I could be made worthy

I underestimated your power

When I looked at myself all I tasted was sour

But you only see me with pride

Who are you Lord?

Your love is stronger then the tide

Your embrace is greater then my fleshly chase

I thought I had to earn your love

Little did I know that it flies like a dove

Father there are no excuses

I know that I have caused you pain

But you don't see me as someone who deserves to be victim of abuses

It was all in vain

Father you are a perfect father

I pray that you will love the Lord your God

With all your heart soul and mind

Love him.

He loves you

I may stand alone

I may die and no one will ever know the sacrifice I gave

But my Father, who is with me

Will know

That I gave it all

To love him with all of my heart

And to fight for what's right

There's a bomb headed in this direction

The explosion will be bigger and more terrifying then anything this world has ever seen

This warhead will hit and destroy the world

Everyone has a way of escape

All you have to do is give up your fight against the God who loves you

He will save you

He wants to save you

The only way he can save you is if you accept his salvation

Don't be victim of your own sin

You see your sin created the warhead

You have doomed yourself

But Jesus can save you from your own doom

He loves you

He died for you so you don't have to

Give up your false gods

They won't satisfy

They're not enough

How can I get to the finish line

When I'm not the one running

You're the one who gives me the strength

But I keep messing it all up

I ask you to give me the strength to make it to the end of the line

I want to finish the race with honor

But every time I get up

I keep causing myself to stumble

Please hold me fast

Pick me up

Blow away my blunders

Crush my pride

Thinking I can do it on my own

When you designed every cell that composes my body

You gave me everything I needed

It's all you

So I guess the only way for you to tell me well done

Is for me to let go

Take the reigns

Who knows what the future holds

I thought It was going to work out

But I don't know who we are

Sometimes your somebody different and you don't even know it

I don't know where my heart is

That terrifies me because it can only mean more lies and deceptions to come for my head

I don't know who I am when I go to bed tonight

I'm just learning to lean on his might

I can't fulfill her needs, guess I gotta back off for a while

I'm running this race for God

No one else

She's running for his glory

She's learning to succeed

I'm just going to keep running

I know some doors I'm running through

Others seem to open and shut

Let's see where this goes

I'll just dive into the great unkown

How can you defend your wife if all it takes is a push to knock you out of the picture?

How can you can you show your children to walk in the ways of God if you don't show them your strength and love?

How can boys become men if they don't learn to run up the highest mountains and dive into the deepest oceans?

Show your wife you will fight for her with the strength of a lion

Show your children that they were made for more then this

Show them Gentleness and wisdom

Show them patience and grace

Yet be courageous when the need be

No more Mr. Nice Guy

Is what we are

Broken people

With problems and issues

Yet with the power of God's grace

We can become unstoppable

So many boys are born into this world but how many of them become men? I look around at my peers and i decided i did not want to be like them. Chasing after money, drugs, women, alcohol. This is just the headline so let me read to you the punch line because when you read this it's gonna make your head spin. I look around at the boys around me who chase pleasure and temporary joy dont know the game theyre playing. When you go for that girl after a night of lust you wake up and i felt that i must. You feel uneasy because all of a sudden they realize something feels wrong. Then what happens a month later when that same girl rocks your world with two words, i'm pregnant is all that she says. Then you start to panic all the anxiety you felt since that night collapses on top of you and you lose your breath and start looking for the button that says redo but it wouldnt matter because now your an addict because you gave into the lie and fell into the whole thats so black you cant see your hand in front of youre face. Hows that for a fast pace. You see you begin to realize your life is all messed up your to young to be a father you werent ready for this world. Then you leave the girl with a broken and shattered heart and a child she was never meant to raise alone. With you its just on to the next girl you can pressure to use her for your pleasure. You think its about love but thats never what it was. It was never about love it was only about ***. You see one gorls not enough because now youre an addict. *** is your God and you have to have it. You begin to think youre alone in this world and that your to ***** to come to the only thing in the universe that can help you. Jesus was standing there with his hand reached out and you slapped it away. Instead you kept falling and he chased you down the mountain you were falling down and one day that mountain you were falling down falls on top of you and youre not strong enough to carry that mountain but Jesus is standing there with you till the end and that day you finally realize that mountain is gonna crush you you give that mountain to him and he gives you a mountain of grace and love that is the lightest thing you ever felt. The false gods of this world will take a boy and keep him a boy he will never grow into a man. So dont chase those gods only one God can save you from those gods and his name is Jesus Christ.

What will they see in this generation?

Will they see a generation of dreamers and achievers?

Or will they see a hoard of monsters who only served their own desires?

Will they see us as a generation who cared for life?

Or will they see us as a generation of people who murdered little children because they weren't convenient.

Who will they see?

Why are so many of us so unstable

Willing to be anything that will get us accepted in modern society

But we weren't called to be a part of the world

We were called to love it

We were called to stand for what's right

We were called to speak out against legalized ****** of millions of young babies

We were called to stand up for what's right

We were called to be honorable in our actions

We were called to be soldiers who take up arms to stand with our king

We were called to fight till our last breath

If the world hates you

Will you join it?

Or do what's right?

Just chasing highs

Spending time until the clock ticks by

We just keep chasing pleasures and treasures

None of it matters

When will America stop wasting their youth on drugs and ***

When will we learn to study the words of wisdom

To remember the precepts of old

Of honor

Respect

Strength

Passion

Yet lawful

Selfless

Protective

Productive

An end to this useless taste

Forgotten the words of old

Burned the prophecies of wisdom

To the wind, the values of perfection are thrown

One generation of an insignificant planet cannot change the laws of reality

An arrogant race cannot classify the existence of God

We cannot define right and wrong

We are merely servants

To a mighty king

Who contains the unstoppable might of love

Love that is greater then the strength of man

Yet holier then all things

Why do we cling to these gods of dust?

Things that will pass away and crumble to dust

They're just illusions in a desert

You see when someone is lost in the desert without water

They start to imagine water that's really only sand

Then when they are led to water they're so used to sand

That they don't realize that sands so hot it starts to burn their hands

When they finally find the oasis

They think it's nothing but sand

Him:

I long to lay eyes upon you

But I must pursue

This creature will be the victor

I fear that if I forsake the chander

What will occur shall be sinister

I promise you I shall come home

As soon as I end this forever roam

I shall return to see our child

This hunt is running wild

Your eyes are what keeps me alive

I can nothing do but strive

I remember your smile

T'will push the weakest through any trial

I am not strong

But I cannot allow our family to be victim to this wrong

I shall come home

My love


Her Response:

When shall you return?

I can no longer discern

You say you are not weak

But never have I seen someone with such seek

Do not allow the creatures trail

To allow our love er fail

I miss the kindness in your eyes

I would choose to see them o'er the choicest dyes

Our son needs a Father

He only knows a saunter

Soon he will be a man

He needs an anchor in the sand

I need you

I know not how to continue

Your leadership did give comfort

I am yet unstable

Your embrace is what I miss

I still remember our final kiss

My dear husband

Use your blade for thy return

To our dearest Angle-Land

I walk through the halls of a nice school
Pretty white walls that seem to be spotless
But the truth is that the people who walk these walls seem to be Godless
Everyday I hear every gripe every groan
About how terrible someones life is
How they feel forgotten and abused
Because they didn't get what they wanted
Some groans are worthy of love
Worthy of prayer
And worthy of concern
But usually it's the ones you don't hear that you need to listen for
You need to listen to that kid who just lost his father
That girl who was *****
That kid who never comes to school because they struggle with their self worth
When all I hear is "My life is so terrible because my parents didn't buy me that car" It makes me want to throw up
These kids are dying and they don't even know it
They live the lives millions would **** to live
Yet when the real problems come around
I try to offer the truth of a God who provides healing
And His name is trampled on like dirt
Yet I will continue to share the Gospel because when they mock my father
I will not be like them
I will be like my Father who loves them more then I ever could

The Bible is a sword

Prayer is my shield

But sometimes I feel like every time I begin to raise my sword

It gets kicked to the ground

Sometimes I feel like I try to hold my shield high

Then it's pulled to the ground
