I'm surrounded by skirmishes

Blood is ankle deep

Comrades who gave up the fight

Comrades who are still fighting

My friends who grow weary from the shadow of battle

Demons who think they can slaughter God's children

Like wolfs that devour sheep in the night

But these sheep were given swords

I'm sick of shouting to people I love like brothers

DON'T GIVE UP!!

DON'T LET HIM WIN!!

DON'T YOU DARE LET THE DEVIL WIN!!

My brothers gave their lives to the cause of Christ

Yet I'm surrounded by brothers and sisters like me

Who are so plagued by sin and the darkness that we wish we could just pull the trigger and let it all end

Yet it wouldn't end

I refuse to give the devil a chance to get what he wants

First because I love my God and others here on earth

Second because I've got streak of stubbornness that doesn't give up ground souly out of spite

I will not throw away a gift others died for

Brothers and sisters

GOD GAVE YOU A SWORD PICK IT UP AND SWING!!

Yes there's a war raging and you are called to arms

Don't let Satan get what he wants to take when Jesus has so much he wants to give

Pick up that Bible and read

I know sometimes it's hard

I struggle too

I've been where you're at and it's at those times

I remember the Holy Ghost lives in me

Jesus already won the war and the devil wants to create an illusion of his victory

God the Father stands watch over me and he put the sword in my hand

The Holy Ghost gave me the spirit of courage

GOD GAVE US THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT SO PICK UP THAT SWORD AND FIGHT LIKE YOU'VE NEVER MOVED BEFORE!!

SLASH THROUGH THE ILLUSIONS!!

STAB THROUGH THE TEMPTATIONS

BASH THROUGH THE TRIALS

ACCEPT CHRIST INTO YOUR SOUL AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN STOP YOU WHEN HE IS WITH YOU!!!

The battle is raging all around

But we aren't fighting for victory

You see Jesus already won on the cross

We merely fight from the victory
Caleb John Nov 2018
Looking into the night

All I see is your glorious light

Stars dancing like kites

Their colors shining, flickering, flying

Like kingdoms

They rise and fall
Caleb John Dec 2018
You let the devil take your joy

You let him rip into your soul with his illusions

You let him take your heart and control it like a puppet

You tried to retreat into your own kingdom thinking the devil spared it

Why do you try to hide when your King is fighting for you

Why did you hand your life to the devil when you were so close

Your King doesn't stand on the sidelines and watch while you fight a pointless battle

We're not cattle

So pick up your sword and rally

Rally to the King who already won!

Stand beside your God and King who stands beside you
Caleb John Mar 2019
Where has faith gone

We only have faith if we walk unhindered

If no one stands against us

But what if we stand alone against an army of 800 men

I know my God is with me and he will fight for me

All I must do is call upon the God of grace and he will be my strength

If I walk in his ways and not mine

SO RELEASE THE 800!!!!

My God is with me
Caleb John Jun 2018
Everyday

All I feel is unrest

All I hear is the noise

The noise of thoughts moving faster then I thought possible

The noise in my soul

I thought getting away from life would give me rest

But my cluttered mind became more cluttered

The development of anxiety made me think that I had lost it

The noise of the world I couldn't stop

The temptations whispering in my ear

All I felt was restless

Never feeling rest

Unable to experience joy because I was too focused on my problems

The only place I ever found rest

Was at the foot of my King

The only time I ever felt calm

The only place I ever felt peace

Where I found joy

Was at the foot of the cross

So Dear Jesus

I lay this noise down

I thank you for the calm

I just ask for the strength that only you can give me

You are my King

You are my God

You are me Rest

I would rather restrain the ocean with these two hands

Than restrain these emotions that flood my mind

The ocean would prove to be less deadly
Caleb John Feb 2018
Cool car
Pretty house
And everyone said he made it to the top
Beautiful wife
Three kids
Never had I ever seen anyone lower
People saw a beautiful family on the outside
But no one ever saw them behind closed doors
He was a money monger
Who abandoned his responsibility to make just a little more
I never saw anyone sink lower
He caught the rock of greed
And bought into the creed
He gave up on his family
And chased after profanity
He profaned his marriage
In doing so destroyed his children
He had all the riches anyone dreamed of
But at the end of his life
He realized what he had traded for his wife
Without Christ he had nothing
But with Christ he gained everything
Caleb John May 2018
The Bible says in the gospels
The disciple Peter walked on water with the power of faith
When he lost sight of Christ he began to sink
The waves looked to high
Too big
Too intimidating
I wasn't called to walk
I was born to run
I was born to one day lead my wife
I was born to lead my future children
I was born to stand for whats right
Sometimes I lose sight of Christ
Sometimes I begin to sink
Then I remember
I was born to run
I was born to run on nothing but faith
I was born to run through the waves
Sometimes I begin to cave and it makes me sick
Then I remember that I am merely a tool
Sometimes I feel like one of the prophets
By all means I shouldn't be here
But I was born for more
And I wish it was something I did
But in fact I should be the last of God's choice
Why he decided to use me I don't know
When I meet him
I will ask out of wonder
Caleb John Aug 2018
I'm sick of the late nights full of conflict in my soul

I'm sick of who I was

Satan used to tempt me with thoughts of suicide

The only way I thought the struggle could end

But I won't let Satan have me

Some nights I just want to scream!!

Jesus stormed the gates of hell and broke the rules of death

So why must I feel this conflict?

Because Satan knows what I was called to do

All I see are the mountains God allows him to put in my way

Sometimes those mountains look so big and I feel so small

Why does the darkness often seem more visible then the light?

I'm sick of darkness

I wish I could rip my chest open tear the sin from my soul

But that's not the way it works the only one who can cleanse me daily is Christ
Caleb John Jul 2019
I'm so tired of the search

I wish some days I would just stand still like a solid birch

I hate trying to find joy in worthlessness

I keep looking around what stands right in front of me

I'm always searching in all the wrong places

Today I'm going to search for my peace, joy and rest, not in trivial things

Not in the sand

But in the ocean of wonder
Caleb John Jan 2019
He tried to chain me

He tried to shackle me with temptations

He tried to pressure me into submission

But Jesus came and broke my chains

Then they kept coming back

Thinking I'd allow myself to get chained again

No matter how many times Satan tries to take me down

He will never destroy me

He can't touch me without my fathers permission

You thought you had me

You thought you could take me with you

But Jesus gave me the strength to thrive on the pain you gave

What doesn't **** me makes me stronger

And you can't **** me

But this strength doesn't come from me

I will stand with my father

His strength makes me unstoppable

You may as well melt those chains

Because you and your demons got no other use for them
Caleb John Nov 2018
I'm sad and pathetic

It's because I lost sight of Christ

Don't do the same

You've gotta fight
Caleb John May 2019
Strange

Too serious

Too committed

Bigots

Fundamentalist

Old fashioned

These are some of the names that I receive

For what?

For speaking the truth?

If standing by Biblical principles gets me killed then it will have been worth it

I cannot remain silent

If I don't speak out to billions running straight into Hell then their sin is on my head!

If I don't warn them then I appease men

I must appease God

I cannot remain silent

Homosexuality

Adultery

Lying

Stealing

Gluttony

Hate
­
These things are what takes most people away from the truth

Some hate change

Some hate conviction

But I must tell the world

These false gods cannot satisfy

They cannot save

Only by the love and grace of Christ can one be saved

So I must hold by these principles that I hold true

I cannot remain silent

I cannot be quiet

I MUST SCREAM THE GRACE OF CHRIST!!

The world must know

The only way to salvation is through humbling oneself

Laying down their old gods

Accepting that this life isn't about us

Tell the world

Don't remain quiet

Don't fear the ones who can destroy your body, but fear the one who can destroy your soul

Speak out

Spread the word
Caleb John Oct 2018
Why can't I focus?

Why is this silence deafening?

This anxiety bouncing off the walls

It reverberates like sound waves

I just wish I could hear the voices of those I love
Caleb John Oct 2018
Sometimes I feel like I'm lost with my head down

Like the weight of what I've done is going to make me drown

But Jesus gave me grace to win the race
Caleb John Feb 2019
Watch

Watch as the God I serve crushes these demons

Watch as he puts the spirit of a warrior into you

I know that my God is with me

If I stand alone waiting for his might then so be it

If I have to wait for centuries

Just to see him win a war in a matter of seconds

So be it

My God is my champion

Now sit down and watch the God of Wonders
Caleb John Oct 2018
Everyday I hear all the bad things I've done

Whispers in my ear to end my life with a pun

But dear Devil

You can't haunt me with this guilt

You can't drive me to suicide

I decided years ago I would never take the cowards way out

When I accepted Christ as my savior I became a soldier

There are people God sent me to rescue by his strength

So don't you dare think that I will leave my brothers and sisters behind

You better get out of my head

Cause that knife may look good but Jesus is better

I will meet him on his time not mine

YOU BETTER GET OUT BEFORE I START SWINGING!!!

THESE ARMS WERE GIVEN TO CHRIST AND WHEN I SWING I SWING FOR DISTANCE!!!!

Christ saved me from my past

He saved me from a body cast

So you can't take my life

Because I serve as a soldier

And I stand with God

To the end of the line
Caleb John Nov 2017
The Devil tries to take me
I'm not my own to give
I was bought by the blood of the Lamb
This life is not my own It's Yours
Only Yours
The Devil tried to buy me
But you hide me in Your hands
You bought me so when the Devil tries to get me to sell out
I'll just tell him
This isn't my life so
I'm gonna tell you to shut it when you try to tempt me
Live sold out
It's the hardest but the best decision of your life
Caleb John Jan 2018
They light up the sky
Like pink and purple dye
They're an open door
To new worlds and new planets
Meteors and comets
Make the world respond with rockets
Flying through the door
Like we have nothing left to poor
Their beautiful
Wonderful
Worthy of a stare
Like their's not another care
The stars are full of questions
Without answers
Are we alone in the universe?
Are we ready to leave this world
And take to the stars
Are we ready for new worlds
Beyond our imagination
Where we can do things beyond all possibility
Caleb John Feb 2019
Caleb

Your God called you to life

So why do you cling to death

Let go of your Gods

Remain steadfast in who you are

Remain strong in what you know to be true

This world has nothing for you

Cling to your God
Caleb John Nov 2017
I look around at this world
and turn in a whirl
People trying to pit blacks vs. whites
And the casualties of unborn babies have shot to new heights
But I'm not supposed to say that because it's all about women's
Rights and it's their bodies so that gives them a right to **** their kid
It makes me angry and want to get rid of abortion clinics
Then comes Gay rights where suicide rates skyrocket because of it
All this is the wind in a tornado
And I'm in the middle thinking when is all this Godlessness gonna come to a halt
But wait were to busy pointing out each others faults
Jesus said stop pointing out the speck in your brothers eye until
you pull the log out of your own
You see I was called to be a light in this world
But sometimes I taste the bite of the storm
Those waves tear me up when I think of my family in Christ that are being persecuted around the globe
But sometimes I have to stop and remember the one who created them
He loves them more then I ever could and I was called to love my enemies
So even though I'm torn inside I'm gonna shine this light
People will make me worn
But this is why I was born
To glorify my Savior and defend others who are worn
Caleb John Oct 2018
Me:

God I can't do this anymore

You sent me to do an impossible job

It's too hard

These temptations will **** me

I don't feel your power

I cry out to you but hear no reply

Where are you?

I need you to remove this adversity

I can't do it

I don't have the strength

This is too big

Jesus:

I told you I am with you

You're right these adversities are too big for you

But they're not too big for me

I stand beside you

I am the breath in your lungs

My power runs in your veins

These temptations form a thorn in your flesh

My Grace is enough for you

You haven't scratched the surface of the power you have at your call

I am enough for you

My Grace is sufficient for you

I am sufficient for you

I commanded you to keep going

What made you think these struggles were too big for me?

You stopped and questioned

You stopped and doubted

But I tell you

My Grace is sufficient

For you
Caleb John Feb 2018
All around all I hear is
Do good in school
Get a good job
Make some cash
You see they leave out the last part
"And die"
I stopped and looked around
Were told to do what we're told and climb the ladder
What they didn't say is there's some broken rungs on that ladder
Money doesn't solve my problems
Neither do some useless pics on a screen
Neither do the pills
The drinks
Or the sleepless nights with a girl
I may not have experienced these things
But I've seen so money lives crash and burn because of them
Here we have the rise of feminism
All I hear are protests
Women's rights regarding abortion,
Pay
Equal rights
Yet those same women
Are the skimpily clad models guys look at on screens
You see the objectification of women doesn't happen with equal rights
So much as the way the look through the eyes of men
I could right day in and day out
Society is crashing
When we'll we get our heads out of the sand and look at ourselves
Abortion is ******
Lust is adultery
When we'll we see the monstrosities in our lives?
When we'll we see the cure
Jesus loves those little babies
What's even stranger is that he loves the killers of those babies
He died for each and every one of them
Jesus died for the adulterers
The rapists
The murderers
The innocent
The arrogant
The Prideful
He died for sinners
He died for this suicidal society
Caleb John Nov 2017
Some days I struggle with my heart because it constantly wants to part. Some days i wrestle with my pride and my temptations. I wish these demons inside me would take physical form because i would cut their heads off. I would rather fight forever in the physical realm then in my heart. These demons tear me apart. Some days i would feel like dying. Some days i would be too choked up because of the pain that i kept up. Some days i picked up that knife and thought about ending it all. Some days i never wanted to wake up. Struggling with the anxiety and depression. Afraid of what i would become. Tired of living but i knew taking my life would be sinning and i knew deep down i was created for something more but right now i feel so poor. I was created for more than just the average joe, flipping burgers and selling fries. Maybe that's why i struggle so much is because i know right from wrong and it was never easy doing what's right if it was we wouldn't have any problems in this world. I can't say i always did what was right because i know that sometimes the wrong can feel so right but it's not right. It's a fight. The depression and anxiety try to eat me alive because sometimes i wonder if i'm able to do what i was called to do. The truth is i'm not. On my own i will get owned. Whenever i tried to do something on my own strength it blew up in my face but whenever God put my hand to something i was unstoppable. So i'm gonna do my best to flow to the rhythm of his drum but sometimes i lose the flow and all i feel is cold. When i think about the life i was called to live i sit back and think how can i do this. In reality i walk among men as a giant but on the inside i feel like a coward trying to hide from his duty because of fear of losing. I was called to stand for those who can't. I was called to speak for the voiceless. I was sent to advise the crushed and the wounded. I can't do this on my own, maybe that's why the thought of self destruction enters my mind but it will never happen because that will mean the devil won and i let my savior down. I don't like to lose so i'm gonna finish this fight till someone puts this body into the ground but that won't happen until God allows it. That's ok because my life will never be about me because it never was about me i'm here to glorify my God but everyday i fail him. To Isis and other haters of the followers of Christ. You won't win this war. No matter how many bullets you fire into our skulls, no matter how many heads you take, no matter how many graves you dig. You will never win because greater is he living in us than he who is in the world. He is mightier than you could ever imagine so i hope you will repent of your wicked ways and join us because Jesus didn't die on that cross for just me but for you too. Jesus is victorious.
Caleb John Dec 2018
I wish I was who they saw

"Someone Important" is what they say

My friends only see one side of me

Some spiritual person who gives advice

I wish these skeletons were ripped out of the closet

If they knew what you knew

They wouldn't want anything to do with me

They would turn their head in disgust

Ok

Maybe they wouldn't but I wish they would

Because I can't even look at myself in the mirror without wanting to spit

I wish they saw more then the surface

Cause the higher you raise someone

The higher they can fall

I realize my voice carries farther then I want it to

I don't ever want to sound self righteous like I'm someone who matters

I'm just a filthy bag of bones full of filthy bones

I wish they could see more then the surface
Caleb John Oct 2018
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
Caleb John Jan 2018
I was so lost in my own world
When I lost my balance
And ran out of talents
I noticed the world zooming away
As I swept past the stars
Into a new place that was above par
I felt the warm sensation
Of the gravity fixation
I saw new worlds beyond the stars
I came to a place beyond all time and space
I saw everything in unison like a clock chime
I flew threw the sun
And saw what was done before it began
Colors flew bye as I ran
Then I closed my eyes as I felt the thrill of running through this strange dimension
Then I opened my eyes
Turned over and got out of bed
And realized that my mind didn't see the impossible
My imagination could just predict the future that is possible
When man finally completes the impossible and
Takes to the stars
Caleb John Dec 2018
If everyone I loved hated me

If everyone abused me and hurt me

If everyone I loved died in front of me

If everything I ever cared about was ripped from me

If I had no more fight left to give

Would I still love you Father?

So many people that I love are being left out to dry

I know you forge us in fire

Sometimes the fire burns

So many are being beaten and abused

Father I know that this isn't you

Father I wish that it was me instead of them

Dear God all I can tell anyone that comes to me is this

"How much heat is your faith able to take?"

Sometimes I have to tell myself

It's you over everything

HOW MUCH HEAT IS IT GONNA TAKE FOR MY FAITH TO MELT!!

Dear Jesus I tried so hard to run but God wouldn't let me

How far would those I love go before they forsake you?

Dear Jesus cling to them

Dear Father don't let go

Father, the only way we can stand the test is with you
Caleb John Dec 2017
It's easy to rejoice when there's nothing to bring me down
When you can't hear that sound
The sound of the world screaming it's coming after you
But I need to give thanks through the good and the bad
Easy or hard times
God gave me all I ever needed so no matter what I have no reason to not give thanks
To the one who holds the world in his hands
So today give thanks with a Grateful heart.
Caleb John Jan 2018
Every day I get up and go to school
I'm called crazy
Stupid for believing in something I can't see
But how can I remain silent
How can I not tell them about the hope that is in me
So many hopeless roads that they are running down at top speed
Every day I get up and walk into battle
On the inside I just want to scream the result of their futility
But I guess some just have to learn the hard way
I'm surrounded by kids who want the answers to life
They want to know their purpose
The answer is Jesus Christ
Jesus gave the answer to life
He fights for them even now in their denial
I can't help but to look on them with love
The love of Jesus
This is our battle cry
Of Love
Caleb John Dec 2017
Christmas
Now thought of by the world as just calling it the Holiday
But what the world doesn't know
It's not a holiday
It's a Holy day
A day to celebrate the greatest man to ever walk on earth
A man who was fully God
And fully man
Jesus Christ was born in a manger
He wasn't born in a palace or a castle
He was born in a stable
In a feeding trough
Shepherds came to visit him and they bowed in humble adoration
Three wise men who crowned kings came and traveled for over a year to bow and worship Jesus who is Christ the Lord
This was the story
Of a birth
Of the King of Kings
Caleb John Nov 2017
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.

The greatest way to reclaim a nation, is the relentless attack of peace.

I thought me and this Girl could make it work

Guess God had different plans

Got stabbed in the back

Friends are leaving right and left

One's that I love are falling into the devil's lies

Stress is flooding my lungs

But Christ never left me

My father always protected me

He was always faithful

All through the crazy life

All through the days I might meet my wife

Let's see what happens

Cause I'm ready to run through life

To the end of the line
Caleb John Feb 2018
It's a dance so many enter
But few are strong enough to lead
At the end they plead
To have one more chance
And they would do it all differently
When you enter the dance
You only have a single chance
Made up of many chances
Yet this dance has an end
Some wish it would bend
But it's more than a trend
It's beyond the ability to comprehend
So many people make the wrong moves
This is what sin proves
For the wages of sin is death
But the Gift of God is eternal life
When you begin this dance
Don't waste your chance
Cause at the end of the dance
You will be judged at his hand
But you can't perform the right dance
Unless you allow him to show the prance
Caleb John Jan 2020
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
Caleb John Jun 2018
I once thought my sin was all there was to see in me

But you put a light in me

I ask you would break this heart of stone

And restore it with a heart of flesh

When I jumped into the ring

I dove in over my head

I thought I could fight for my King

But I realized my King fights for me

So I'll just stand on the side lines while my God puts the devil on the ground

And I will stand here and listen to the sound

The sound of your voice

The sound of victory

The sound of glory

There is a light at the end of the night
Caleb John Nov 2017
There's a flame in this world thats been used to take down the men of this world. Its a flame that leaves a burn and then we wonder why did i turn. That flame is an instinct that looks so good the feel of its warm light but its easy to forget its bitter bite. Its a tattoo and it only takes one night to leave its burns on you. So many boys chase it because its an addiction. These boys never grew up to become men. They chased after that girl and afterwards they feel the need to hurl because after that night l they realize they feel different. They lost a part of themselves and took a part of her to. Dont chase after that flame it will leave you scorched in pain. You wouldnt believe the burns from that flame. Luckily i never felt the full force of that heat but ive seen the scars and regrets of those who are ready to place another bet. I look around and see Godless boys curled around that flame not aware of the scorch not aware of the pain but im no better then them. I try to warn them but they only scoff and mock telling me i dont know the pleasure. But its not pleasure its pressure with so many pains i cant even imagine. Dont chase that flame it will turn a Godly man into a Godless boy.
Caleb John Sep 2019
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

Wrote on the tablet of history

And formed my very being
Caleb John Dec 2017
Sit down now and let me tell you the truth
There's a place of danger
A place of fire
A place called Hell
Don't go there
You see there are two places after death
One is Heaven
One is Hell
Don't follow this world in to the flames of Hell
Follow Jesus into the arms of Heaven
You see this world is running head long into a fire hotter than this world has ever known
It burns hotter than molten stone
All I want to do is tell the world
You don't have to go there!
Follow the one who loves you
Some may say
If God loves me than why would he let me go to Hell
HE DID EVERYTHING TO SAVE YOU FROM HELL
He sent his son Jesus to die on the cross
He gave you a gift
Are you gonna take it or throw it away?
It's your call but I told you about how to be saved
From that eternal fire
I love you that's why I warn you
Jesus loves you
That's why he died for you
Please choose Jesus over Hell
Choose love over death
Caleb John Aug 2019
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

My God spoke galaxies into being

He formed stars with his fingers

He spun the heavenly dance known as gravity into being

He takes the time to remember how many stars he created

He knows their name

I didn't create this God

He created me

He shaped worlds with words

He pays so much attention to the big things

but he also pays such close attention to the little things

He customized atoms down to the last quark

He used those atoms to make up substances that create cells

Cells make up living things

He used the little things so complicated and intricate

To create the big things so massive and powerful

This is the wondrous God whom I serve

So many describe my God as a God of peace
Or a God who was once a God of war
The truth is
My God is the greatest warrior this world will ever face
He fights for His people
He loves those who reject him
He gives his people a life worth living
He gives them hope in their desolation
He is the God of War

You are enough

I'm tired of looking for satisfaction in all the wrong places

My God is enough

I'm grateful

He is enough

Broken homes

Broken hearts

Broken dreams

All the trials

Pour out into piles

When I try to grow closer to God it's always two steps forward and one back

It creates more demons I have to attack

All this pain

All this sorrow

It breaks my heart

All of these broken pieces form a ground

That breeds Warriors

Warriors that are strong and determined

Warriors who won't back down

Warriors who are willing to give up everything they are

Warriors who are full of love, mercy, compassion

Warriors who have a righteous anger contained and at bay

Warriors who fight the greatest battles......

Humble on their knees

It is a gift

Beautifully and wonderfully made

It is to be honored and respected

Treasured, not worthless

Valued, not desecrated

It is a gift to be given to one's husband or wife

No one else

The human body is beautiful not shameful

It is only to be shared with one's spouse because others will not see the beauty

They will not see the honor

They will see it as a house to be robbed

The body is a temple

The body only scratches the surface of the value that is in the soul.

You put the seas in place
You parted the sea to give your people a way to freedom
You walked on the water
With one word
The seas bow to your will
You placed every creature
Every plant
Every microbe
In to place
We still have not discovered the mysteries
Of this creation
We know more about the stars than the seas
When you speak the waters change
When you breath
The Sea ripples
When you gaze upon the Seas they still
Just for you
You are The King of the Sea
