Letter from the Devil by ~ashleyjordan:iconashleyjordan:





Letter from the Devil

I saw you yesterday,
As you began your daily chores.
You awoke without kneeling to pray.

As a matter of fact,
You didn't even bless your meals,
Or pray before going to bed last night.

You are so un-thankful,
I like that about you.

I cannot tell you how glad I am,
That you have not changed your way of living,
O Fool of mine…
You are mine.

Remember,
You and I have been going steady for years,
And I still don't love you yet.

As a matter of fact,
I never will.
I hate you…because I hate God.

He kicked me out of heaven.
So I am going to use you,
As long as possible,
To pay him back.

You see, Fool,
God Loves You,
He has great plans in store for you.

But you have yielded your life to me,
And I am going to make your life a living hell.
That way, we'll be together twice.
This will really hurt God.

Thanks to you, I'm really showing Him who's boss in your life,
with all of the good times we've had.

We have been...

Watching dirty movies,
Cursing people out,
Stealing,
Lying,
Being hypocritical,
Fornicating,
Over-eating,
Telling dirty jokes,
Gossiping,
Being judgmental,
Back-stabbing people,
Using profanity and improper language,
Disrespecting adults and those in leadership positions,
Looking at people with lustful eyes,
We’ve been drinking and partying,
As well as doing many other things that you think are hidden in the dark.

We have many idols, such as money, our own image, celebrities or other secular possessions.
We have no respect for the Church,
We also have bad attitudes
And we’ve been living glamorous lives together, thus far.

SURELY you don't want to give all this up?

Come on, Fool, let's burn together forever.
I've got some hot plans for us.
This is just a letter of appreciation,
From me to you.

I'd like to say 'thanks' for letting me use you for the majority of your foolish little existence.

You are so gullible, I laugh at you.
It’s so fun to mess with your emotions and soul.

And when I tempt you to sin,
You give in so easily,
Not even with a fight anymore.

HA HA HA…you make me sick,
You are so pathetic and worthless.

Sin is beginning to take its toll on your life.
You look twenty years older and now,
I need new blood.

So go ahead,
Teach some children how to sin,
How to follow your example.

All you have to do is…
Lie,
Smoke,
Get drunk or
Drink while under-aged,
Cheat,
   Gamble,
  Gossip,
Fornicate or live,
being as selfish as possible.

Do all of this in the presence of children,
And they will do it too.
Kids are like that y’know?
So gullible, like you.

Well, Fool, I have to let you go…for now.
I'll be back in a couple of seconds,
To tempt you again.

If you were smart,
You would run somewhere,
Confess your sins,
And live for God,
With what little bit
Of time you have left,
In your wasted life.

It's not my nature to warn anyone,
But to be your age and still sinning,
It's becoming a bit ridiculous.
Don't get me wrong, I still hate you.
It’s just that you’d make a MUCH better fool for Christ.

"P.S. If you love me...you won't share this."

Yes, it is one of those chain messages -_-. My sister sent it to me and the "ps" above this paragraph was at the end of the poem. I normally do not even respond to chain messages but this one can caught me off guard and really made me think.

It is deep and it made me realize something. It made me realize that...Satan is using me and I am wasting my life sucumbing to his will. I finally see that I have let him take such a grip on my life...that's why everything is going wrong: I am mad at myself, I am unsatisfied, not happy, I don't trust anyone, I have forgotten to talk to God, I am crying and I have such torment within my soul and to me, I couldn't understand why. Now I think I have a little bit more understanding but I have a long way to go to get back to righteousness and to living a holy life. Please pray for me, I am really struggling and I desparatly need the Lord's help in my life.

Well this really touched me and I wanted to share it. I believe it will have a similar effect on anyone going through temptation, immorality or really, sin of any kind. Always remember that God is with and will never give you a burden that you can't overcome. I've got to remember that...

ATTENTION:
I did NOT write this! I did re-edit it and I added a ton of words, fixed phases, proof read, changed the structure and sentence flow, so I am slightly taking partial credit but the credit goes to whoever wrote this. Thank you so much and you were a great blessing to myself and I am sure to many others as well.

I also will be trying to make a picture for this...I was looking for a picture related towards Satan, sin, temptation, etc. If you find a good one, let me know. Thanks!

Oh...kay....


....I don't even know what to say about this...all it was was repetition. And I have heard this from my own mother so many times...it's really very tiring. But I suppose you have every right to post this.

Thanks for commenting. Um...like I said, I did not write this. My sister forwarded it to me and I thought it was cool/interesting. I am sorry it had such a negative effect on you. I only posted it because I thought that maybe someone would benefit from it...

well thanks! ashleyjordan; 4 pondering my poem entitled "God's letter to a Woman" w/c truly i got from my bestfriend ashleyjordan. hanks also for sharing your poem entitled "Letter from Satan." Actually, after i've read it, i've quickly copied and posted it on my friendster bulletin. That poem is real counterpart of the poem i've posted. It really made me realize how Satan tempts and affects all of us by this times of trials & unexpected situations w/c truly reminds me to become a better person, be steadfast and immovable as a young man & as a Latter-day Saints member. Thanks also for sharing the lifechanging video, i appreciate it very well...

wow this is really good! nice wording! yeah satan does have a way of tricking ppl. into doing things that we shouldn't do. i was under his wrath for a while. doing things i shouldn't do. i was still a christian. but wasn't acting like the one i should be. then i just gave it all up and asked God to forgive me for all the bad things i was doing. and i recommitted my life. and now i'm doing great! =]

Hmm... okay, this is from a perspective of one who plans on portraying a religious Christian message through literature.

You said your sister sent this? Well no offense to her but I feel that some parts of this make it sound like it's for children. I'm starting to suspect that the original chain letter originated from those Jack-Chick type Christians and they're not a very creative bunch.

There are better ways to describe the dark things in this world and this poem (even when you edited it) does it very poorly I'm afraid. :(
