You're a Jerk

Satan is a jerk. 

In case ya'll didn't know that, I am now informing you. I have just been realizing more and more how he tries to get me off track and away from God. Satan uses all sorts of things to just try and make me forget how I am supposed to be fulfilling my purpose of living fully for God. Recently its been mindless things like being lazy, or not taking time to actually think about everything I do and how that it needs to be done for Christ. Satan is tricky, but God has already defeated him. Lots of times, I fall into these temptations; however, when I do God's grace covers me. 

Whenever I fail, God looks at me and says, "The ways you have failed and sinned in, I forget. Walk with me." "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." - Romans 3:23-24 When I sin and fall into temptation, God forgives me. Because of this grace, I can then keep my head high and continue on in this adventure of life for and with Christ by my side. Amen.
