If discouragement and self-pity
Were from our heavenly Father,
We would do the best
We could with it,
And grow stronger thereby.
But it isn't from God;
It's from the devil.
And while we're wallowing in it,
And wallowing is not too strong a word,
(Picture yourself doing this --
Dignified isn't it?)
We're lost in self
And can't be about our business
Of loving and serving others.
Remember this:
It isn't primarily us the devil is after;
It's too interfere with Christ
Working in us to bless others.
