The Hater (Part 1)

I know someone who hates me. Yes, HATES me. This person hates what I look like, hates what I stand for, hates my family, hates everyone I love. This person uses my words against me, lies about me, gets others to go against me and never gives up on telling me what a failure I am. This person is consistent. The attempts to bring me down never end.

As I go through my day, this person waits and watches for any opportunity to hurt me. To see me hurt brings this person laughter. This person will do whatever they can to cause pain in my relationships with friends and family. Even to the point of using them against me. Yes, this person actually uses those I love to attack me, reject me, talk bad about me and spread lies about me and my family. To think of all the times this person has used me to hurt someone makes me feel sick. Oh and that reminds me. This person loves it when I am sick. The quickest way to get a Mother off track is to distract her with worry about her health or the health of her family.

This person will deceive me, distract me, divide me from those I love, destroy my reputation and never stop. He will never quit trying to kill my spirit. He longs for me to fail. He longs for me to be depressed, worried, fearful and inactive. He longs for me not to trust people. He even whispers in my ear that people don't really like me and don't want to be my friend. He shouts things about what a bad mother and wife I am. He waits and watches, looking for any space in my life that may be empty. For it is then he quickly tries to fill the space with his lies.

He is the enemy. He is real. He is after you. He hates you. Do you get that? HE HATES YOU. He doesn't want you to immerse yourself in God's Word. He doesn't want you to have an incredible Godly marriage. He doesn't want you to be full of joy. He wants you to be miserable. He wants you to be sick. He wants you to suffer and to stay exactly where you are at and never grow. HE HATES YOU. HE HATES YOU. EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT YOU, HE HATES.

1 Peter 5:8 (The Message) Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up.

YOU ARE HATED!
