A MANS FIGHT WITH THE DEVIL ©
Your soul begins to hemorrhage from the blows filled with death, your eyes flustering with anguish as you gasp for breath. Your mind speaks loudly in a fainting voice and the words you hear delivers your final choice. “I will not quit, I’m stronger than this, although I’m weak and can barely ball a fist". My spirit is tough and I know I had enough; But the Devil is a liar and I’m going to call his bluff". I’ve been hurt before, I’m no stranger to pain; In fact, my pain encouraged me to change. I re-positioned my approach and reconditioned what I wrote, reevaluated my style and turned my frown into a smile. As I showed this, the devil poked me in the eyes, blinding my site and taking me by surprise.
He knocked me off my feet and had me down on the ground, then whispered to me with a deep harsh sound. “I will show you who I am, and you will for fill my plan, no matter what you do; you can’t flea from me, I can only flea from you, I will always have my way, doing as I see fit and choose, this is my planet earth, the place I call home and for long as you live here, I’ll never leave you alone".
I then moved my head around as I lay on the ground, although I thought death was eminent, I no longer heard a sound. I began to look to God, asking him, why you have forsaken me; suddenly I heard a voice as my eyes began to see." This is for you my son, your life has just begun, you no longer have to hide and you no longer need to run, they say the devil is a liar, but his lies you turned to truths, because all he expect of you is exactly what you do, when times get rough you took none of the blame, but what you give is what you get and as it went is how it came.
This is your lesson as well as your blessing; there is no time for wondering and no time for guessing. Take this, because it’s yours, you were there when it began and you are the reason for the cause. There is no one to blame, but you, and that’s true, so don’t point the finger, just do what you need to do." After hearing from God, everything became level and I realized this was normal, just a man’s fight with the devil.
