The Armor of God

I reached the apex of life a few years back, But it wasn’t until my journey on the way back down that I stumbled onto the right track. My life had been good but it had made me terribly hard, I had lost all sense of compassion, I was bitter and scarred. I didn’t think I needed anyone, but the world needed me, I was very good at what I did, and at the time that was very satisfying, you see. I thought you had to be macho, never once realizing this was the root of my pain, I had never wanted to show tenderness or mercy, to me that was insane. All these years looking back I never felt whole or complete, I thought life had been good but looking back there had been more bitter than sweet. But still I had been blessed and I didn’t realize just how this could be, Till the day I returned to church and found Jesus after all those years was still waiting for me. It dramatically changed my life, softened my heart, and opened my eyes so that I could see, And now I like to testify to others who have experienced life much like me. Friend if you feel like something is missing and you don’t know what to do, If you open that Bible and read it, in there you’ll find the answers to life’s many problems and a guideline just for you. I laid down one armor that was tarnished and worn and that was too heavy to pack, And picked up another that now shines on my back. The Armor of God is a gift that I wear with great pride, And it’s awesome and great knowing I have Jesus by my side.
