Everyday I would try to hide my scars of life
Try to disguise what I've aquired from my days of strife
But why cover up the outward signs of healing?
And while trying to make my new life of salvation sound appealing
If I'm really pleased with what I've become
Then I should enjoy looking back on what's been done
You'll never be perfect here, we all have flaws
Not a single one has lived a life without breaking laws
Put all your scars out on display
Let others see your gratitude for how God's showed you the way
Who is going to trust you if you don't take off your mask?
God will surely provide boldness to complete this uncomfortable task
We need to be vulnerable with one another
Otherwise, how can I sincerely say you're my sister or brother?
We aren't called to be perfect
If we were, we'd never be able to connect
No no no, of course I'm stained
But more important is the eternal life I've gained

What if...?
*CAUTION: This may cause you to open your eyes and change your ways.
Today I got mad. No, not just mad, I got furious. I finally got fed up with being the devil’s punching bag. I used to say I was tired of it, but today I acted like it. I got up and instead of going into defense mode; I squared my shoulders and told the Devil to come get some. Will you do the same?
What if you were more than just talk?
What if you made true on all your promises to God and your threats to the Devil?
What if you actually cared about what happened to you?
What if life meant more to you than what you see?
What if you cared more about your eternity than your tomorrow?
What if the state of the world we’re living in actually mattered to you as much as you say it does?
What if you were willing to fight as hard as you love?
What if you were willing to give as much as you get?
What if you got mad and let the devil know it?
What if you messed with the devil much as he messes with you?
What if the when the devil thought of you he didn’t say “oh it’s just another one of those Christians”?
What if the devil felt the need to warn his followers to be on the top of their game when it came to attacking you?
What if you struck fear in them because you’ve decided to live up to your destiny?
What if you weren’t like the others?
What if you didn’t blend in with non-believers?
What if you were the first one God thought of when he needed something done?
What if you weren’t content with just surviving until He comes back?
What if you acknowledged that there’s a war raging over your soul?
What if you treated God like He is all-powerful, holy, and worthy of all praise?
What if you tore down all the walls the devil gave you the bricks to build?
What if your eyes hurt from all the darkness around us?
What if you dug up all you buried?
What if you stopped living your life in circles?
What if you stopped putting your soul on sale for the highest bidder and acted like your soul has been paid for by Jesus?
What if you put on your armor and war paint everyday when you woke up?
What if you acted like you know God still lives?
I guess we’ll never know until you stop asking what if and started and started living out your answer… we’re waiting.
