The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist.
When fear knocks on the door, answer with faith!
Perfect love casteth out fear. I'm not perfect. Perfect love is God. God casts out fear.
Truth does not stay hidden. You can burn it, bury it, lie about it, but truth is light, and it will always shine through the darkness, no matter how dark it is or how long it takes. Never forget: God has a sense of humor, and He has an interesting way of balancing justice and mercy.
British poet William Cowper said, “Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees.”
The adversary will whisper, "You're alone. No one cares." The truth is: God cares, and you are never alone. God cares so much He allowed His only Begotten Son to be crucified on the cross for you. Jesus suffered in Gethsemane for all the sins of the world. He knows what it is to be tempted, to hunger, to feel alone. He understands pain to a depth we can never imagine. He has walked the path, so He understands us perfectly. I've felt alone and lonely, even knowing God is there, but I knew I could never say He wasn't there, not without lying. In that, I haven't lied in over twenty years and counting.
