Tools for Sale
It was advertised that Evil was going to put his tools up for sale. On the date of the sale, the tools were placed for public inspection; each tool being marked with its sale price. They were a treacherous lot of implements...
Hatred, Envy, Jealousy, Lust, Deceit,
Cheating, Lying, Pride, and so on. Laid apart from the rest was a harmless
looking tool, well worn and priced very high.
"What is the name of this
tool?" asked one of the purchasers, pointing to it. That is
Discouragement", replied Evil. "Why have you priced it so high?"
"Because it is more useful to me
than the others. I can pry open and get inside a man's heart with that when I
cannot get near him with my other tools. Once I get inside, I can make him do
what I choose. It is badly worn because I use it on almost everyone, since very
few people know that it belongs to me."
My friend, don't let Evil discourage
you in anyway. You are God's child and have the victory already won. All you
have to do is keep your faith on the Lord.
