A couple of evenings ago, feeling down, I posted on Facebook that I was discouraged; which led to several people responding with surprise and wonderment.
Now I understand that as a pastor and church leader, people may see me as one who has great faith and optimism. My discouragement and the response to my post reminded me of another favorite song from the 1980’s, “Warrior is a Child” by Twila Paris. It is a powerful song that spoke to me then and continues to speak to me today.
“They don’t know that I run 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, cause deep inside this armor, the warrior is a child.”
Listen to it hear on YouTube and be blessed.
