You brought something I didn't think about to light, "satan is the great accuser," yet I had forgotten I mentioned this to my kids in class, but in a different way. How you said it made me think about the times when even my own thoughts would accuse myself of not being good enough. I then let negativity and satan bash me. Only to be washed clean and cleansed anew in the grace of God. It's a beating that is painful, but the purging is purifying. Peace is there and love is always the gift given. God is sooo good and loving.Marie Cecilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038456269137125594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26120550.post-71349224935327875692007-10-19T00:43:00.000-04:002007-10-19T00:43:00.000-04:00I think in almost everyone's life we make mistakes...I think in almost everyone's life we make mistakes. The one thing that comforts me is the knowledge of God's Love and Mercy. <BR/><BR/>Every soul carries its wounds but it is the Holy Spirit who comforts us. It is also the Holy Spirit who strengthens us to go beyond our limited self and to continue to make ourselves vulnerable for Loves sake alone.<BR/><BR/>When faced with accusations of past wrong doings or when others judge you. Rememer two things...<BR/><BR/>The Holy Spirit loves us & comforts our afflicted spirit inspite of ourselves. <BR/>But satan is the great accuser. It is good to recongise the 'spirit' that is the motivating each of us.<BR/><BR/>If it were not for God's Mercy then there would be no hope for me.<BR/><BR/>Peace to you my friend:)<BR/><BR/>MarieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
