I Was Told That I Wasn’t Any Good

I heard the devil whisper into my ear…

“You’re no good!”  “Come over here!”

In front of me, where discouragements of various kinds...

At first, it was almost overwhelming for my mind!

He promised something “better,” than what I already had!

He said that if I did what he wanted…  I’d be happy and glad!

I asked how Jesus to help the way I’m livin.’

The life I’ve lived…  And HIS power of forgivin.’!

Would I trade all of this, for a life of stress and sin?

Perhaps having a form of happiness,

 but no freedom within?

Was I going to trade what God gave,

 for a ”pleasure of the moment?”

Was I about to make a mockery of Christ’ atonement?

I ran, and bowed my head and cried…

For a brief moment, I felt rejected and despised!

 I felt the Holy Spirit’s presence all around me!

And then, it was like the love of Jesus had filled me!

This time, I knew that what I had, was all I needed!

With Christ in my life, I no longer have to be defeated!

Satan is a liar!  He has one purpose and goal!

He wants nothing more, than to destroy my soul!

Take notice Satan!  This is what I proclaim!

Everything I ever need!  I have in Jesus’ name!

The blessings from Jesus, has supplied my every need!

It’s an everlasting and abundant life, that I received!

Thank you Jesus! For giving what I need and more!

You are truly wonderful! 

And are worth living for!
