DEVIL’S BEATITUDES
Blessed are those who are too tired,
Busy or disorganized to meet with
Fellow Christians on Sundays each week.
Their hearts are not in it.
Blessed are those who enjoy noticing
The mannerisms of clergy and choir.
Their hearts are not in it.
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 even stop,
Going to church.
Those are my missionaries.
Blessed are those who claim to love God
At the same time as hating other people.
They are mine forever.
Blessed are the trouble makers
They shall be called my children.
Blessed are those who have no time to pray.
They are easy prey for me.
Blessed are you when you read this and
Think it is about other people
And not about yourself.
I have got you.
v The devil doesn’t cause me to commit sin. I’m a sinner by nature. What the devil is best at is preventing me doing the good – through my own discouragement, distractions, despair - or through the criticism and cynicism of others.
v All that is needed for evil people to succeed is that good people should do nothing.
