Who are You? Who am I?

2 Corinthians 5:17


Queen Victoria once paid a visit to a paper mill. Without knowing who this distinguished visitor was, the foreman showed her the workings of the mill. She went into the rag-sorting shop where employees picked out the rags from the refuse of the city. Upon inquiring what was done with this dirty mass of rags, she was told that it would eventually be made into the finest white writing paper.

After her departure, the foreman found out who it was that had paid the visit. Some time later, Her Majesty received a package of the most delicate, pure white stationery, bearing the Queen's likeness for a watermark. Enclosed was a note saying that the stationery had been made from the dirty rags she had recently inspected.

When the enemy comes to us with discouraging thoughts and encourages us to quit our work for the Lord, it is very important that we renew our mind and speak the Word of God out loud so the enemy can hear it. 

The enemy has tried to discourage me many times and let me tell you, that's when I stand firm and speak the Scriptures, and those thoughts flee from me faster than when they entered my mind.

Be encouraged and when in doubt, speak the Scriptures out loud and see the deliverance of the Lord. Believe me, it works!

I received this a while back and have always loved to read it whenever troubles came my way. 

I encourage you to print off a copy or keep it handy in your email inbox so you can get quick access when you need to fight off Satan and his wicked thoughts.
