*~* DEVILITITUDES *~*

 

Know how our enemy works.
If the Devil were to write his Beatitudes, they would probably go something like this:

 

DEVILITITUDES

 

Blessed are those who are too tired, too busy, too distracted to spend an hour once a week with their fellow Christians in Church-they are my best workers.

Blessed are those Christians who wait to be asked and expect to be thanked-- I can use them.

Blessed are the touchy, with a bit of luck they may stop going to church-- they are my missionaries.

Blessed are those who are very religious but get on everyone's nerves--they are mine forever.

Blessed are the troublemakers-- they shall be called my children.

Blessed are those who have no time to pray-- they are easy prey for me.

Blessed are the gossipers, for they are my secret agents.

Blessed are those critical of church leadership, for they shall inherit a place with me in my fate.

Blessed are the complainers-- I'm all ears for them.

Blessed are you when you read this and think it is about other people and not yourself-- I've got you.

Have a Blessed Day

Dave and Barbara
