Momentary Adversaries

The fight is fierce
Dangerous
Costly
The insults tear
and scar.
Yet, it is my arms
raised in victory
They are momentary
adversaries
I am eternal
They are temporary,
misfits of time
I am forever
the Father's

Makes me want to go home and watch Rocky! :)


Yet our victory in the arms of the Father are so much greater and higher than any earthbound success.

That is what is so awesome--they are all momentary adversaries! (I'm fighting the urge to put a hundred exclamation points) :) When we see from the view of His victory, we are left with nothing but joy and triumph. He graces us to the live there. What a God! Love this, Jay. Thanks so much.

They may not feel so "momentary" at times...but the the truth is the truth. The victory is ours in Christ Jesus! Thanks Jason!

Momentary adversaries, I like that, in the end that's exactly what they are. I like to call them, "Pebbles in my road of life." Good poem JC! Nice initials!

No way, Jay. The comparison is much more than skin deep my friend...

Great poem. At least we have to fight for a while then we will be in eternity.

YEP! RAISE MY ARMS TO PRAISE!!! Not much else counts ever. I rely on that when the battles/fights are either happening already or heading my way. Thanks for the creativity.
