Love. Just a simple, but powerfully infinite thought for the day. Enjoy!

No, Satan is not some religious creation made up to scare you to lead a straight and narrow life. He is real, working behind the scenes to steal your happiness, peace, and fulfillment for eternity. He tempted Jesus unsuccessfully, but tempted Judas successfully to hand over Jesus to die.
