Reflection:
God does indeed care about us. He sent us His one and only Son to die for us, so that in return we can be saved. The devil does not want anyone to be saved, or inherit the home which he once had, so he deceives man by tempting the with vain, earthly, temporary pleasures so that they may be distracted and not see the purpose that God really has for them. The only way that we can stand against the wiles of the devil is to study the Word of God and keep it close to our hearts as it says the Truth and only the Truth will set us free. Free? You may be wondering what I mean by being free. Anyone who is not a child of God is bound in sin which is of Satan so naturally you are captive if you are not of Christ. When we accept Christ we take on a precious responsibility and an important one too! We are to be the salt of the earth! Isn’t that just wonderful!! We are to be the shining light that leads other who are lost to Jesus and when we do so we are not to take the praise for ourselves. Our main intention should be that of glorifying God.
