Dealing with the Devil
An elderly Christian was asked, “Does Satan trouble you about your past sins?”
She answered, “Yes.”
“What do you do?”
She replied, “I tell him to go east.”
“What if he comes back?”
“I tell him to go west.”
“If he returns?”
She said, “I keep him going from east to west, for Psalms says, ‘As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us’” (103:12). —Albert Memmi
