The Devils Game
{Written by, Candice Landis, 09/17/2013}
Many Don't Realize The Devil Is Playing A Game
Let Me Introduce You To His Team Mates, I Know Them All By Name
At One Time They Were With Me Everywhere I Went, Right By My Side
I Mistakenly Depended On Them To Be My Guide, Once Upon A Time
First There Is Greed,.
Encouraging Us To Want Things We Don't Really Need
Greed Tells Us We Will Never Have Enough
It Encourages Us To Stay Focused On Earthly Things , So That We Forget To Look Up
Then There Is Shame
Shame Burrows Deep Inside Our Hearts, Telling Us We Will Never Be Accepted , Always Feeding Us Pain
It Keeps Us Down In The Miserable, Cold Lonely Depths Of Despair
Telling Us We Don't Deserve To Be Loved And That No One Cares, It's An Unbearably Heavy Burden To Bear
Then Of Course There's Fear
Fear Tends To Accompany All The Others Listed Here
It Paralyzes Us, Preventing Us From Reaching Out And Letting Others Know Of Our Need
It Whispers In Our Ear We Will Be Rejected And Received With Cold Laughter And Great Cruelty
Then There's The Deadly Jealousy
One Of Our Biggest Most Powerful Enemies
It Distorts Our Thoughts And Clouds Our Vision
Causes Us To Have Bitter Thoughts And To Think And Treat Others With Great Derision
This Brings Us To The Worst One Of All , Negativity
This One Blackens Your Soul And Drinks All Your Energy
It Is The Captain Of The Devils Team And Leads The Attack Upon Your Heart
It Darkens All Aspects Of Your Life And Rips You To Shreds Until You Are Consumed By The Dark
Only One Thing Can Defeat The Devil And All Of Our Evil Foes
We Must Give The Darkness To Jesus Who Sits At The Right Hand Of Our Fathers Throne
We Must Ask Him For Forgiveness And To Lift This Burden And Fill Us With His Loving Light
Only Then Can We Turn Away From The Darkness And Live A Full And Blessed Life
So Push Aside The Darkness And Cast It Out By Reaching Out To Our Savior, Jesus Christ
