I don’t usually like talking to this guy, but…

22 Jul

Dear satan,

I hate that you try to corrupt all that is good, that brokenness exists in this world because of you. I hate that your presence lets a little boy who could otherwise be healthy, to have a life-threatening condition. I hate that there is unexplanatory sadness in the world, because you are busy at work. 

But let me tell you something, I’m working hard too. I’m fighting you tooth and nail, trusting in a Strength thats bigger than my own. (Ephesians 6:11)

And you know, i can’t help everyone, but i can help that little boy. We just flew him to a hospital to get some major help, and his body and soul were affected. So were his family, and friends. You meant evil for evil, but I work for Someone who can turn evil for good, so that thru your corruption of innocence, my heavenly family is actually expanding.

So though you’re fighting desperately like a choking lung in a drowning man, I will not despair in your acts. I get to live a heck of alot longer than you, so it is YOU who should be worried. (James 4:7)

sincerely, 

Jenn, member of the Winning Team (just keepin it real)

    Bravo! I think we should do this more often. Just keep it real and not let the enemy drag us down. The more attention we give to Satan, the easier it is for evil and destruction to overcome us, but when our eyes are fixed on Jesus, we can rise above all of that.
