Like a Lion Seeking What it Might Devour

I have been under attack over the past two years.  Ultimately, this is a spiritual assault.

Without going into details, someone is telling lies about me and I recently had conformation that my suspicions were correct about some details about the nature of the falsehoods.  People that know my character know that these lies have no merit; that I don't say things like that. They also know that I have my integrity. But, as my friend, Shayma said, even if the dirt you're throwing doesn't stick, it leaves a mark (think of picking up mud and hurling it at a earthen middle eastern house the mud doesn't stick but there is a mark.  (Shayma is Iraqi and she was trying to translate the heart of the words from Arabic into English.)

Another dear friend, Pam, has reminded me of this video and how the lion is the enemy and wants to destroy the little girl (the innocent) but can't (the plexiglass is God's protection.)

Now, I am supposed to be brave like this little girl but that takes faith that the lion has 0 chance of breaching the plexiglass but I must remember the plexiglass represents God's protection and God never fails! So far, I have weathered these attacks and have seen God protect me.

I hope this blesses someone else as much as it has blessed me and I wish nothing bad for this person that is attacking me. I hope someday whatever is tormenting him to the degree that he wants to hurt other people would be healed. I pray that this person would come to know God's love, grace, and protection but in the meantime before the lamb can snuggle up and nap with the lion, I am thankful for thick plexiglass.
