I have seen your faithfulness and diligence and perverted it into striving and
perfectionism. I have seen your outward beauty so I distorted your image in the
mirror, causing you to hate your body and focus on your flaws. I have seen your heart of mercy and trampled on it by pushing others to hate you, be jealous of you, tease you, take advantage of you, exclude you, and leave you. I have seen your pure heart and have schemed to water it down with media, friends, placing doubts in your mind to make you believe you were out of place. I saw your innocence and I gladly stole it - tainting your view toward relationships and love. I see you are wearing all white and I cannot stain it. But I can distort your eyes and reflection so that you see yourself as dirty and covered in stains. I see your energy and passion for life and I distract you with mediocre things to keep you tired and burned out. It sucks the joy out of serving others and drains you. I see your gratitude and skillfully point out the negative things in your life. It makes you forget what God has done for you quickly. I see your hunger and thirst for God and I surround you with quick fixes - that way your search for the truth doesn't go beyond surface level. Every chance I can get I remind you of your past - the bad stuff, just to keep you stuck. I hear your voice and the truth it speaks, the words it uses to encourage, and I surround your voice with fear. It stuffs the truth down so others cannot hear about the power of God and the life he brings to you. Fear and
discouragement are the robes I place on you. This covers the glory of God and His radiance that shines out of you. I see your tenderness and open heart and I use others to crush you and take advantage of you so that you will be guarded and closed off. I see your ability to contribute to a group and be a leader, and I push others to judge you, gossip about you, and speak malice in their hearts towards you. I also whisper to the dark corners of your heart and make you hateful and jealous towards others. I love it when you compare yourself to those around you, especially when you see something you don't have. I have seen your unique beauty and I make you believe you have to conform to other people's standards. You see, I love twisting the truth and making it your false reality. I delight in making you feel filthy.
There is nothing greater than making A CHILD OF GOD feel defiled. You see, here in this realm, we see your brightness and His glory revealed.
You are marked and chosen.
But, if I can keep your human eyes from seeing the truth, I have won the battle.
I am relentless.
I am your worst Enemy
