Default The Devil Left His Bags

The Devil Left His Bags
=======================

You put the devil out, but you let him leave his bags.

Never quite looked at it like this before...

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're 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.

This was an awesome post. Like you, I had never thought about it, like that either. But anytime, we say we are going to change and then we don't, it means we like what satan has left in his bags.

I like the analogy of this post. Satan likes us to leave foot holes. If we leave part of our armor off he is ready to attack.

Thanks Shell

Just thought of something else, . This is why God brings so many people into our lives, is to help us see things from all angles. I am so thankful for all the people that God has brought into my life, via the internet.
