No cape to unfurl,
to open to the wind,
No mask to don,
to hide one's identity,
No tights to wear,
to enhance reality,
Superheroes for God
don't run faster
than
speeding
bullets,
don't leap tall buildings
in a
single bound,
and aren't stronger
than
locomotives,
They live to be like Jesus,
engaged in an epic
destiny:
fighting
dark forces,
lifting a fallen planet,
healing a broken world;
possessing an identity
the world
wants kept secret:
being in Christ Jesus,
empowered by the Holy Spirit,
doing only the will of God;
fighting an arch
enemy:
he who
has many names,
Satan, Abaddon, Lucifer,
The Accuser, The Deceiver,
The Devil, The Father of Lies;
accessing powers
beyond
those
of carnal men:
supernatural powers to
nourish for every battle,
to heal when wounded,
to overcome all temptation;
working together,
as part
of a
unified team:
God, Father, Son and Spirit,
and legions of brothers and sisters,
bound together in a never ending love;
and in faith knowing,
victory
is already
ours:
and though invincible we are not,
in the end, good triumphs over bad,
in all things we conquer through Him
who loves us, and from Whom we will
never be separated again.
