You got out of a bad relationship because it was bad, but you are still resentful and angry.
(you let the devil leave his bags)

You got out of financial debt, but you still can’t control the desire to spend on frivolous things.
(you let the devil leave his bags)

You got out of a bad habit or addiction, but you still long to try it just one more time.
(you let the devil leave his bags)

You said, I forgive you, but you can’t seem to forget and have peace with that person.
(you let the devil leave his bags)

You told your unequally yoked mate that it was over, but you still continue to call.
(you let the devil leave his bags)

You got out of that horribly oppressive job, but you are still trying to sabotage the company after you’ve left.
(you let the devil leave his bags)

You cut off the affair with that married man/woman,but you still lust after him/her.
(you let the devil leave his bags)

You broke off your relationship with that hurtful, abusive person, but you are suspicious and distrusting of every new person you meet.
(you let the devil leave his bags)

You decided to let go of the past hurts from growing up in an unstable environment, yet you believe you are unworthy of love from others and you refuse to get attached to anyone.
(you let the devil leave his bags)

When you put the devil out, please make sure he takes his bags!

thanks so much for the little poem concerning the devil leaving his bags. It was very sharp and to the point and had an extreemly profound message. It’s no wonder that some of us walk around with so much baggage. We have’nt learned to let the past remain the past. Instead we give the devil a foot hold to keep a place in our lives by hanging on to past hurts or WRONG affections. we should just come clean with God to allow him access into our hearts in order to reconcile past hurts or wrong feelings.
