Lies

When I believe the devil's lies

I spit in the face of mercy.

I scream mocking words of scorn

At the One who loves me most strongly.

But He doesn't hurl back insults.

"Father, forgive them"

Is His only response.

I pause, perplexed by this demonstration of mercy.

Moments later, I continue screaming.

Again, "Father, forgive them."

I am driven to repentance

But not before the sting of my sin has been felt.

"It is finished."
But what is "it"?
What is finished?
It seems obvious - Jesus has breathed His last.
But that can't be all - there has to be more.
Could it be the completion of a promise?
Yes - I can now believe his truth
Instead of giving into Satan's lies.
