Who am I?

“Satan accuses Christians day and night. It is not just that he will work on our conscience to make us feel as dirty, guilty, defeated, destroyed, weak, and ugly as he possibly can; it is something worse: his entire play in the past is to accuse us before God day and night, bringing charges against us that we know we can never answer before the majesty of God’s holiness.  What can we say in response? Will our defense be, ‘Oh, I’m not that bad?’ You will never beat Satan that way. Never. What you must say is, ‘Satan, I’m even worse than you think, but God loves me anyway. He has accepted me because of the blood of the Lamb.”  —D.A. Carson, Scandalous: The Cross and Resurrection of Jesus

How quickly I can go down this road, buckle under Satan's accusations.  When I read this it makes me burst out in a grin because I just visualize Satan's face after the last line!  Sucker!!!
