He tries so hard to recover
those things that bring back disgrace
He digs and digs through your past
and then slams your sins in your face
While Christ is giving you comfort
and telling you He brings up no more
It’s during this time of forgiveness
that the Devil comes pounding your door
He brings you painful reminders
that come equipped with guilt
Your eyes begin to look backwards
despite the restoration God’s built
Satan is laughing and delighting
in this mind he is trying to win
He thinks He’s gaining control
by bringing up these past sins
But like a magnet, the Bible,
snaps your focus aright
The words of our Savior remind us
of when darkness was slaughtered by light
God’s very Beloved hung on the cross
dying for your guilt and shame
And this victory in Jesus protects you
when Satan comes calling your name
So the next time Satan reminds you
of all that occurred in your past
Remind him of his future
and where he and his followers will be cast
With Christ we have true victory
for His death on the cross declared
That Satan can never bring back
the sins that were covered there.
I wrote this when my college friend, Josh McGee, knew I loved to write, so he gave me a topic to write about that many struggle with. Can’t believe this was 21 1/2 years ago 🤯 & that I would marry Josh a little under 2 years later. 😁 Maybe someone reading this needs this reminder…
