Lucifer Works For God
Head of Department of Discipline,
Manager of Correctional Intervention Division,
Follows orders from on high.
Not an independent entity,
Adversary to the Lord of all people, places, and things,
Appears as a roaring lion looking for someone to devour,
To ensnare us like birds then drag to Gehenna
Just outside the city.
Rather like a thorn in the flesh ordered by God for good,
Delivered by the messenger of Satan to preempt conceit.
Change is rare without pain, repentance as well,
A gift from above to effect good growth
In character, heart, and behavior.
Pain is an alcoholic's friend.
Ask any recovering addict.
