“PUT THE DEVIL OUT”

 

YOU PUT THE DEVIL OUT, BUT YOU LET HIM LEAVE HIS BAGS

You got out of a bad relationship because it was bad, but you are still resentful and angry
(You let the devil leave his bags)

You got out of financial debt, but you still can’t control the desire to spend on frivolous things
(You let the devil leave his bags)

You got out of a bad habit or addiction, but you still long to try it just one more time
(You let the devil leave his bags)

You said, I forgive you, but you can’t seem to forget and have peace with that person
(You let the devil leave his bags)

You told your unequally yoked mate that it was over, but you still continue to call
(You let the devil leave his bags)

You got out of that horribly oppressive job, but you are still trying to sabotage the company after you’ve left
(You let the devil leave his bags)

You cut off the affair with that married man/woman, but you still lust after him/her
(You let the devil leave his bags)

You broke off your relationship with that hurtful, abusive person, but you are suspicious and distrusting of every new person you meet
(You let the devil leave his bags)

You decided to let go of the past hurts from growing up in an unstable family environment, yet you believe you are unworthy of love from others and you refuse to get attached to anyone
(You let the devil leave his bags)

When you put the devil out, please make sure he takes his bags.

Happiness keeps you sweet,
Trials keep you strong, and
Sorrows keep you human,
Failures keep you humble,
Success keeps you glowing,
But only God keeps you going

Let the devil take his bags with him!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps if you are not willing to move your feet!!!!!!

I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW ABOUT ME TODAY

TODAY I FOUND OUT SOMETHING NEW ABOUT “ME”

Today I found something new about myself.

As I entered my patients room, I saw that she was sitting in a chair
feeling despair. She was afraid, filled with mixed emotions, not knowing
what the futures holds, what decisions to make, “if she made the right ones”, or if the ones she made ” were wrong.

She began to share her feeling with me.  As I listened, I began to share my own feeling to her.  As the words came out of my mouth, she began to feel at ease.  There was a calmness that came over her face as I continued to talk to her.

When I was done, she thanked me.  As I walked out the door I thought to myself, “did I just minister to this women? “Where did these words come from.?” It amazed me.

About an hour later, as I walked back to her room, she thanked me again and said that she was so glad that I had spoken to her and that she had felt better.

At that moment I looked up towards Heaven and I began to talk to the Lord, “SO THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO?” I experienced a new feeling today.

Later on that evening, as the patient and her family was leaving, she reached out toward me and said “Thank you.” You have a GIFT.”  Her family thanked me as well.

THOSE WORDS THAT CAME OUT OF MY MOUTH SURPRISED ME…FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING, I THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND CAN’T EXPLAIN THE FEELING THAT CAME OVER ME.

Yes I got a sense of satisfaction, because I made another person smile. I try to stay on an ”ENCOURAGEMENT DRIVE” daily, beause somebody took the time to “ENCOURAGE ME.”
