Oh hello to my new book! ♥ “Feeling like God - The Emotional Side of Discipleship” by Chris Tiegreen. A friend gave this to me as his Christmas present.
This book is about and explains that no matter how much objective truth we’ve learned, we can’t really relate to God unless we know how he feels. As humans made in God’s image, we experience nearly the full range of emotions that our Creator does. And whenever the Holy Spirit shows up in Scripture, it always provokes an emotional response, proving that God himself passionately desires to connect with us on an emotional level. Follow Chris Tiegreen beyond an impersonal, distant faith—and learn what it is to feel like God.
I’m excited to read the whole of it! Thank You Lord :”>
A Letter to you from Satan:
I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores.
You awoke without kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact, you didn’t even bless your meals, or pray before going to bed last night.
You are so unthankful, I like that about you.
I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living, Fool, you are mine. Remember, you and I have been going steady for years, and I still don’t love you yet.
As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate God. He kicked me out of heaven, and I’m going to use you as long as possible to pay him back.
You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you.
But you have yielded your life to me, and I’m going to make your life a living hell. That way, we’ll be together twice. This will really hurt God.
Thanks to you, I’m really showing Him who’s boss in your life with all of the good times we’ve had.
We have been… watching dirty movies, cursing people out, loving worldly things, having bad influences, stealing, lying, being hypocritical, fornicating, overeating, telling dirty jokes, gossiping, being judgmental, back stabbing people, disrespecting adults, and those in leadership positions, no respect for the Church, bad attitudes. SURELY you don’t want to give all this up.
Come on, Fool, let’s burn together forever. I’ve got some hot plans for us. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you.
I’d like to say ‘THANKS’ for letting me use you for most of your foolish life.
You are so gullible, I laugh at you. When you are tempted to sin, you give in.
HA HA HA, you make me sick.
Sin is beginning to take its toll on your life. You look 20 years older, and now, I need new blood.
So go ahead and teach some children how to sin.
All you have to do is smoke, get drunk or drink while under-aged, cheat, gamble, gossip, fornicate, and live being as selfish as possible.
Do all of this in the presence of children and they will do it too. Kids are like that.
Well, Fool, I have to let you go for now. I’ll be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart, you would run somewhere, confess your sins, and live for God with what little bit of life that you have left.
It’s not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still sinning, it’s becoming a bit ridiculous. Don’t get me wrong, I still hate you.
IT’S JUST THAT YOU’D MAKE A BETTER FOOL FOR CHRIST.
P.S. If you love me, you won’t share this.
