Happy Halloween?

Bah.

i'm a blog flake, but i'm not the only one so we're good.

I've frankly been too busy to read or write any.
I've found some verses that I love and think really apply to me, Ecclesiasties 11:9-10

Go read them, astounding..if you're a young man. like myself.

Also, somthing was revealed to me last night, either by God (most likely) or my common sense (not so likely) but I don't want to be one to assume. Regardless it's good.

Satan Hates me.

And that's basically it. But I'll elaborate.

he wants to see me unhappy, sad, and defeated. Any road or path that I am led down by him is directly away from God, and not only that, but all that I love or that makes me happy and brings lasting Joy into my life. I realized that this is a simple thought and one I should have grasp much earlier on in my faith, especially how much the southern baptist dogma was beat into me as a young christian. But it didn't really strike me until last night. Satan is not just wanting me to have a good time, and not listen to God, it's not that plain or simple. he wants me to fall away from God, love, happiness. It's not that he just doesn't want me to win, to end up in heaven, he wants me to lose. Wants me to fall in to utter darkness and un-truth, to lose my sense of self and morality and forget what joy ever was. I am hated by him because I am Man, I am part of God's chosen creation, made in His image, and loved unfailingly and allowed redemption.

I am Denton, a Child of God, a Son of God, a status that was ascribed by Grace and Mercy, that cannot be taken away.

This made sin seem even less tempting, made my temptations seem more like traps. I thank God that I was shown this.

Purity is not restricting, it is more freeing than anything else.
