Untouchable

Psalm 118:6

The Lord is on my side;

I will not fear.

What can man (or woman, CLS) do to me?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I want people to like me. Actually, I want people to love me, and I don't think it's that hard to do. Furthermore, when people don't love me (or like me, for that matter), I have a difficult time understanding why. Fortunately for me, there aren't many people like that in my life, that I know of, and if you'd like to inform me differently, I'd rather you keep that information to yourself. I'm on a need to know basis, and that's one thing I don't need to know.

There have been occasions when certain people, who shall remain nameless for the sake of protecting the guilty, have chosen not to like me, love me, or even be nice to me. And because of their dislike, they have been mean to me. I'm not crying about it, I'm just stating a fact. People can be mean. They call you names, say bad things about you that are mostly untrue, alienate you, leave you out of things. Sometimes they even take actions against you that are hurtful and destructive.

But the Psalmist wrote that God is on our side! Paul put it like this: If God be for us, who can be against us. Isaiah said, No weapon formed against you shall prosper. John: Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world! CLS thought: If God is for you, everybody else might as well be.

There's an old song that says, "I've got Jesus, and that's enough, that's enough, that's enough!"

People can say what they want to. I know what is true.

People can do what they want to. I know what is true.

Sticks and stones, and all that.

I'm untouchable by the things of this world. So know this; if you're trying to hurt me, you're only bringing hurt to yourself. I'm already dead in Christ; nothing more can harm me.
