No, not Lord Voldemort
Satan, there I said it. he is scary and real. he continues to push me around even when I tell him to stop. he is constantly yelling at me to give up. he has no heart. he is so worthless to me. Hi friends! These things have been going through my mind a lot lately. I have been thinking a lot about the devil and praying he has no hold on me. I find myself screaming a lot for him to shut up. He has no hold on me!! Sometimes when I find myself falling short I take a step back and realize that I don't want that menace (the devil), to have any sort of hold on me. This creature that lurks below the earth is freaking terrifying. He scares me, yes, but you know what's even cooler? I can literally push him back to where he came from. I can throw my arms up and worship Jesus, this gives the devil so little authority over me, over all of us really. I know I can do this but sometimes I still fall short. That is frustrating but I know that I am redeemed and I can continue to tell the devil to shut up! I tell him daily to keep his big flap shut and let me live for Jesus. I imagine the devil withering away as I pray. He withers and shrinks, and his hold on me becomes less and less. This is so cool. I love that as my relationship with God grows stronger my previous "relationship" growers weaker. The devil knows us well enough to torment us and poke us at our weakest points; like the other day, I was running (a long run), and I tripped and fell (yeah, I know embarassing right?). Well, the devil definitely struck me in that moment. He said, "Cassie you are too weak to run this half marathon in 2 weeks." I laughed, a lot, at the thought of the devil thinking he had any sort of hold on me. I actually chuckled. I said back to the devil, "Yes, devil you may know how to make me fall flat on my face but God knows how to pick me up and push me to keep going. The Lord knows how to love me more than anyone else could, including you (devil)." Keep this in mind friends, the devil may know how to push us around but God will always be there to catch you when you fall and love you more than anything in the universe could. Inspiration: "'In your anger do not sin'. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold."---Ephesians 4:26-27
