“For he is the kind of person who is always thinking about the cost. “Eat and drink” he says to you but his heart is not with you.” (Proverbs 23:7)

Do not be deceived for the enemy will come to kill, steal and destroy.

The Lord warns us from anyone who works for or is being used by the enemy. They are giving us what they can offer or giving us what we desire. Yes it will bring you happiness and pleasure but just for a while and it's all temporary. And because they did not care about you (because it's from the enemy) what they offer will serve as traps for you to be destroyed and will lead you to disobey God for sure.

I have experienced a lot of these pursuations this year. Because of the heartache I had and that I was lead to God as my refuge, the enemy worked his way towards me. Couple of times he tempted me. Couple of times he convinced me. The enemy told me that I should do this because if you don't do it you will miss the chance and that I will end up with regrets. And so I did all what the enemy said. Then, I end up broken. I knew that I would be, but still I chose to do what what was offered.

Now I know better. I can never be happy with disobedience. I can never be okay even if I do those things. It will only make me suffer more. It will also make the Lord sad and hurt. For I know that He loved me so much He wouldn't want me to be harmed. And if I did He would also feel the pain I have because of the love He has for me. Isn't it that when you love someone you are happy when your loved one is happy? And if your loved one is sad and hurt you will also feel the same? How else would you feel that you have warned your loved one not to do those things and yet your loved one did it and caused your loved one to be hurt? I am focusing now in this perspective, asking myself during attacks, "What God would feel if I let the enemy deceive me?"
