The Five D's that the Devil Uses Against Us:

Delay- makes you put off something that never gets done.

Diversion- makes the wrong things seem attractive so that you want them more than the right things.

Defeat- makes you feel like a failure so that you don't even try.

Discouragement- makes you look at your problems rather than looking at God.

Doubt- makes you question God's word and His goodness.

Stained Glass Masquerade by Casting Crowns *w/ lyrics*

I remember when I first made the choice of going to church & truly seeking God I felt the same way as the lyrics of this song. The reason I did was because I was living a life I refused to admit was a sin, so I questioned if I was really myself at church would they still have Jesus' love for me? Plus, when they worshiped I wondered what was I missing that I couldn't praise God in the same way they did? I wanted so badly to have that which made them praise God the way that they did. This song reminds me that what we see isn't always what it really is. For all I know maybe it was a "show" I don't know all I know is that I just need to allow for the Holy Spirit to lead ME into praising Him the best way He wants ME to do it. I no longer live in that sin, thank God and have grown to be more comfortable in church. But, recently this song still has some meaning just not in the same way as before, but I will not allow any feelings to jeopardize my relationship with God :)

To some being martyred maybe a horrible thing, but I think it would be an honor for me to die for the One who died and resurrected for me. Yes, it's also scary but remember the one who seeks for his life will lose it and the one who loses it for God's sake shall win their life.
