Gnawing, howling …
The worm of despair
Gnawing, howling …
It tore a hole in the middle of my chest
Gnawing, howling …
After devouring my left ventricle
Gnawing, howling …
It gains its strength from words
like
“You’ll never be good enough!”
or
“You think so highly of yourself, don’t you?”
or
“Don’t you ever THINK – at all?!!”
or even
“You simply don’t CARE!!!”
…
…
stop
stop it, worm
…
“I SAID STOP!!!”
…

Satan often tries this tactic. He tells us were not good enough, when in reality Christ paid it all!
That’s true – and thank you for the comment. It puts everything in the right perspective. 🙂
