Your love defends me
I took this personality test a while ago and received the title "Defender."
If I Can Protect You, I Will
"Defender personalities are a wonderful group, rarely sitting idle while a worthy cause remains unfinished. Defenders’ ability to connect with others on an intimate level is unrivaled among Introverts, and the joy they experience in using those connections to maintain a supportive, happy family is a gift for everyone involved. They may never be truly comfortable in the spotlight, and may feel guilty taking due credit for team efforts, but if they can ensure that their efforts are recognized, Defenders are likely to feel a level of satisfaction in what they do that many other personality types can only dream of."
If I can protect you I will. But I will rarely protect, rarely defend myself.
The test also lists popular people who share the same personality traits. My favorite comparison is Samwise Gamgee from the Lord of the Rings. He cannot carry Frodo's burden but he carries Frodo himself.
Last night, I went to Eucharistic Adoration, where my sister, Maddie, and cousin, Mike, performed their incredible musical talents for the LORD.
The Church was dark and candles were lit, exposing Jesus in the Eucharist within the Monstrance.
I knelt in the front pew and was enamored by His simplicity.
A piece of bread.
JESUS!
"How can this be?" Luke 1:34
And then the song Your Love Defends Me, by Matt Maher, was played and it spoke to my heart.
I don't have to defend myself. Jesus's love defends me.
You are my joy, You are my song
You are the well, the One I'm drawing from
You are my refuge, my whole life long
Where else would I go?
Surely my God is the strength of my soul
Your love defends me, Your love defends me
And when I feel like I'm all alone
Your love defends me, Your love defends me
Day after day, night after night
I will remember, You're with me in this fight
Although the battle, it rages on
The war is already won
I know the war is already won
Surely my God is the strength of my soul
Your love defends me, Your love defends me
And when I feel like I'm all alone
Your love defends me, Your love defends me
You are the well, the One I'm drawing from
You are my refuge, my whole life long
Where else would I go?
Surely my God is the strength of my soul
Your love defends me, Your love defends me
And when I feel like I'm all alone
Your love defends me, Your love defends me
Day after day, night after night
I will remember, You're with me in this fight
Although the battle, it rages on
The war is already won
I know the war is already won
Surely my God is the strength of my soul
Your love defends me, Your love defends me
And when I feel like I'm all alone
Your love defends me, Your love defends me
