Innocence surrounds this house. Children, miles away from any one person. In our safe haven, it would seem that innocence prevails.
Yet still, somehow, the innocence is not enough to guard against the world and it's wiles. Sometimes joy is stolen for a moment. A hushed sobering moment. Reminding us that we are not untouchable.
No-one is untouchable.
Sin is waiting at everyone's door, playing the knock-knock joke with our lives.
Be vigilant, Christ says. Watch.
Be ready for the battle of temptation to begin. Prepare your soul to wage war with the evil that wants to claim all that you are. To steal away your relationships, your peace, your faith.
We are not untouchable. But we can be ready.
We can arm ourselves with spiritual armor. We can be strong enough to fight and win.
We are not untouchable. We are warriors.
