Satan comes to us with such subtle deceptive distractions. He never reveals that he wants your complete destruction; but is content if you will hand over just part of your life, part of your heart, or part of your mind. But, Christ comes and demands ALL, and can rightfully do so for He is the Creator and King.
Satan will gladly have whatever is yielded to him, however small a portion of the life, heart, or mind it may be; for, he knows that Christ will have ALL or NONE!
“Watch constantly against those things which are thought to be no temptations. The most poisonous serpents are found where the sweetest flowers grow” —Charles Spurgeon
“It is necessary that our sharpest trials should sometimes spring from our dearest comforts, else we should be in danger of forgetting ourselves, and setting up our rest in this world.”
—John Newton
