The Devil is to Confusion as Confession is to God

Saturdays are hard to wake up to in a motivating way. The one day I can actually process the week in review. Today’s news is depressing, children are being killed by their parents, by their addictions, and by their societal pressures. Satan is real and very real in these days causing hate, anger, and confusion. Satan hated what God made. You hate what you can’t have. God love mankind. So much, God sent his only son in his image to die for us because of our sins. What a special gift to have – all working parts of the human body. I can move, I can see, I can hear, I can think. But somewhere Satan whispers, “you are not good enough, change and you will be better” whereas God whispers “you are loved no matter what. I’ve been with you and remember you were already forgiven, lift your worries about the world, find your center, and ignore the chaos that surrounds you.” I think in this moment “Here I am Lord” and I receive a response in my heart “Come follow me.” I need to respect what God gave me and take care of me. I think I will take a walk, exercise my heart in away, both in the Holy Spirit and physical world. Confusion is everywhere and it’s time to trust the Lord while I do the basics to prime what I have – mind, body, and soul. Clear my mind from the confusion, exercise my physical being, and examine my soul through confession. This will be my greatest challenge – to love my self as God made me.
