Underneath this Armor

I would like to consider myself a "Warrior for Christ"!  Each day putting on the whole "Armor of God" to face the world in which I live... hoping to make a difference in someones life and standing against the wiles of the devil.  I must admit though... that underneath all this armor - no matter how "cool" or "together" or "tough" I may appear:  dwells the heart of a child!  The Lord is my stronghold, and without HIM, I would look more like "chicken little" than a WARRIOR!

Twila Paris wrote a song called:  "The Warrior Is A Child" that sums up these feelings that I hold within and expresses them far greater than I ever could in my own feeble words... Here are the lyrics:

“The Warrior Is A Child”  

lately I’ve been winning battles left and right
but even winners can get wounded in the fight
people say that I’m amazing
strong beyond my years
but they don’t see inside of me
I’m hiding all the tears

they don’t know that I go running home when I fall down
they don’t know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
‘cuz deep inside this armor
the warrior is a child

unafraid because His armor is the best
but even soldiers need a quiet place to rest
people say that I’m amazing
never face retreat, oh no
but they don’t see the enemies
that lay me at His feet

they don’t know that I come running home when I fall down
they don’t know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
‘cuz deep inside this armor
the warrior is a child

"The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him."  (Nahum 1:7)
