Discouragement- A Tool Of The Devil
Discouragement- A Tool Of The Devil
Author Unknown
Once upon a time it was announced that the Devil
Was going out of business and would sell all
His equipment to those who were willing to pay the price.
On the big day of the sale,
All his tools were attractively displayed.
There was Envy, Jealousy, Hatred, Malice, Deceit, Sensuality, Pride,
Idolatry, and other implements of evil display. Each of the tools was
Marked with its own price tag.
Over in the corner by itself was a harmless looking,
Wedge - shaped tool very much worn, but still it bore a higher
Price than any of the others.
Someone asked the devil what was it, and he answered,
"That is Discouragement."
The next question came quickly,
" And why is it priced so high even though it is plain to see,
that it is worn more than these others?"
Because the devil replied,
" It is more useful to me than all these others.
I can pry open and get into man's heart with that
When I can not get near him with any other tool
Once I get inside, I can use him in whatever way
Suits me best. It is worn well because I use it on everybody I can,
And few people even know it belongs to me."
This tool was priced so high that no one could buy it, and to this day it
Has never been sold.
It still belongs to the devil,
And he still uses it on mankind.
