Today’s Devotion is something that was shared with me and I felt it was powerful.  I was unable to track down the author source – so whoever that is – thank you!

 

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.  1 John 4:4 

 

 

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 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!
Be Blessed, Healthy and Happy

 

Be in Christ Jesus and let him be the ruler of your life!  The Devil and Jesus cannot dwell in your life at the same time.  One has got to go!!
