Letter to Satan

Dear Satan,

I used to be weak, doubtful and selfish. I used to be vengeful toward my enemies.
Whenever I had a problem, I used to blame God about everything.
I never realized that I never hated you.
I never blamed or cursed you. In fact, you were invisible to me.

Little did I know that you planned all the mishaps.
You were so happy when I detested God.
You almost got me.
You were so glad you thought I'd come to you.

That's when you're wrong...
On the time of my deepest despair, a friend approached me and shared to me the Gospel.
For the first time in my life, I felt so alive.
You were that thorn who had been impairing me all my life.

Meeting Jesus was the best part.
It was such a beautiful revelation.
When He told me about His good grace, I was so overwhelmed with love that I accepted His gift of salvation right away.

You see, you were wrong about the world.
You said, I alone can do it.
That I don't need anyone but myself...
You said I can be happy if I aim for wealth and success, but all those things made me miserable.
Those worldly ambition ruined me.

You told me so many lies..

But Jesus told me the truth. He filled my heart with so much hope.
He filled my heart with so much love.
He taught me the true meaning of happiness.
He promised to be with me forever.

He said that if I seek Him with all my heart and soul, I will never walk in misery.
He changed my life by changing my mind.
He is not distant or angry but the complete expression of love.
I don't care about my worldly ambitions anymore.
I'm letting God in charge of my life.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but you have no space in my heart and I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore.
I am following Jesus from now on and always.

Yet despite the lies, the temptation and deceitfulness, I am still grateful.
I realized that if weren't for all the heartaches, sorrow and pain that you caused, I would never have known Jesus Christ.

Sincerely,
Child of God
