What Satan wants...

The Bible tells us in John 10:10 that Satan has come to steal, kill and destroy. 
One of the ways he does this is by driving a wedge between people.  
The wedge may be driven in covertly - without much notice...
...or it may be driven in dramatically with a big blow-out.
 
However it goes in Satan enjoys it thoroughly:               
                                                               A RELATIONSHIP DESTROYED
                    A FRIENDSHIP LOST                 
                                                                      A MARRIAGE DEVOID OF PASSION
                                   NEIGHBORS FIGHTING
                                                                                   THE LIST COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON...

John 10:10 goes on to say that Christ has come so we may have life and have it abundantly.  God promises us the abundant life.  The way to that life is to trust in Him and to know deep down in our souls that whatever happens in life God will NEVER leave or abandon us.  As we embrace this truth the "wedge builders" in life diminish and we can go on with strength and purpose loving others and trusting in God's goodness.  AMEN!!!
