Without Masks, Being Real-Favorite

I have fought on the dark battle fields of hell,
and have been favored by the fortunes of heaven.
I neither fear nor fret, and put the cares of others above myself.                                                                                                              I believe that commitments and covenants should last until death.

I am a rare breed among mortals and seldom seen among earthlings.                                                                                                         I am on special assignment, but like you, I too am a human being.
If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.
Whenever I see broken dreams, I give them wings.                                                                                                 

I am undisturbed, and undeterred by bad news.                                                                                                                       I am at peace; and on Sundays, I sit in pews.
I am not moved nor controlled by media headlines.                                                                                        I am heaven sent to help restore a world in decline.                                                                                                           

I am not the greatest activist, but I am not afraid to take a stand.                                                                                      I am neither politician nor officer, but a gentleman who understands.
I have Biblically based personal convictions of my own; and                                                                                          therefore, neither bath nor shower in the opinion polls of others.                                                                                  

I have tendencies of a perfectionist, but never try to reach perfection.                                                                               In peace or war, I will stand by you and never be accused of defection.
I wear no mask; you can feel and see me; I am indeed the real deal.                                                                                            Not born yesterday, I live today by God's Grace and blessed will.

In a world in decline, I must ever thrive to shine for God.
Loving everyone, I visualize a new world filled with agape love.
It's not the best posture, but if forced to, I will stand alone with                                                                                   endless hope, blessed of God in an oasis of hate-free zones.
