A Letter to You from Satan

This hypothetical letter will make you want to kick yourself for all those times you doubted whether it was worth it to serve God or not! (At least it does me)

"I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores. You awoke without kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact, you didn’t even bless your meals, or pray before going to bed last night. You are so unthankful—I like that about you. I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living. Fool, you are mine.

Remember, you and I have been going steady for years. And I still don’t love you yet. As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate God. I am only using you to get even with God. He kicked me out of heaven, and I’m going to use you as long as possible to pay Him back.

You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you. But you have yielded your life to me, and I’m going to make your life a living hell. This will really hurt God.

Thanks to you, I’m really showing Him who’s boss in your life with all the good times we’ve had. We have been watching dirty movies, cursing people out, stealing, lying, being hypocritical, overeating, telling dirty jokes, gossiping, being judgmental, back-stabbing people, disrespecting adults, no respect for the church, bad attitudes. . . Surely you don’t want to give all this up to live for the One who saved you.

I’ve got some hot plans for us. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you. I’d like to say “thanks” for letting me use you for most of your foolish life. You are so gullible; I laugh at you.

When you are tempted to sin, you give in. HA HA HA—you make me sick. Sin is beginning to take it’s toll on your life. You look 20 years older, and now, I need new blood. So go ahead and teach some children how to sin. All you have to do is smoke, get drunk, cheat, gamble, gossip, fornicate, and live being as selfish as possible. Do all this in the presence of children and they will do it too. Kids are like that.

Well, Fool, I have to let you go for now. I’ll be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart, you would run somewhere, confess your sins, and live for God with what little bit of life that you have left. It’s not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still living for me is a bit ridiculous. Don’t get me wrong, I still hate you. IT’S JUST THAT YOU’D MAKE A BETTER FOOL FOR CHRIST."

Where on earth did you get that? That is so eye-opening just to look at your life from Satan's perspective! It almost made me want to throw up just thinking about my life. Thank you for sharing. I will pass along.

I found this in a file of things I had used when I gave devotions to a group of girls in college. I don't know who wrote it. It sends chills down my back just thinking of Satan using me!
