The Messenger

Something keeps telling me 
There is no reason to live for 
But in my heart I know better you see 
And I know that Satan is a liar! 

I don't want to listen anymore 
To anything he has to say I want peace and joy 
I reject him and refuse to be used by Satan 
I just don't want to be one of his tools or toy. 

Oh, how I wish that my heart could be free! 
But I am not because I am laden with much guilt and sin 
And I am burdensome with so much love, sorrows and woes within 
Oh, how I wish that my heart could be free! 

In solitude I scour my heart and soul inside and out and that's how 
Where do I go sometimes with all my difficulties and problems? 
In my heart of hearts I just know one simple thing for sure by now 
All I need to do now is to go to the cross and give them all to Jesus! 

At times something is telling me 
There is no reason to live for 
But in my heart I know better you see 
And I know that Satan is a liar!

aww so devotional, give it all to Jesus, he will help you he is the reason we live, satan is a thief he will do anything to kill stear or destroy our faith, he even tired this trick on my 12 year old son, he tried to smother cate himself a few months back with a pillow, satan is a big big liar you are special, everytime the enemy tries to attack your thoughts go to www.looking for god.com and read the aricle called the fathers love letter its amazing God bless you from diane
