buy the lie

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy . . .
- John 10:10



and he does. he steals us away from our Father, he kills what joy remains in us, and he destroys our souls a day at a time.



then he holds up our pain and our grief, offering them as evidence that there is either no God at all or else no righteous and loving God.



and we buy it. scary.
