The enemy, often referred to as the prince of darkness, feeds on fear and revels in the shadows of uncertainty. His primary objective is to instill doubt, anxiety, and trepidation in the hearts of believers, for he knows that a fearful heart is a divided heart, torn between faith and uncertainty. But what drives this malevolent being to orchestrate such a campaign of fear? The answer lies in the very essence of his existence: he is consumed by an overwhelming fear of the One True God, the Author of Light and Love. The enemy's fear of God's power and majesty is so profound that it compels him to lash out in desperation, attempting to extinguish the light of faith that burns within the hearts of believers. And yet, in a paradoxical twist, the enemy's efforts only serve to illuminate the darkness, for as the light of God shines brighter, it exposes the enemy's schemes and reveals the futility of his evil designs. In this eternal struggle, the enemy's relentless pursuit of fear only serves to highlight the transformative power of God's love, which draws out the darkness, revealing the radiant beauty of redemption and salvation.

In a world where masks of perfection and invincibility are worn like armor, vulnerability is often mistakenly viewed as a liability. We're taught to conceal our emotions, to hide our fears, and to present a polished exterior, lest we be perceived as weak. But what if I told you that this notion is fundamentally flawed? Vulnerability, in reality, is a badge of courage, a testament to our willingness to be authentic, to be real, and to be human. It takes immense strength to expose our true selves, to peel back the layers of pretence, and to risk being hurt or rejected. By embracing vulnerability, we open ourselves up to deeper connections, to meaningful relationships, and to personal growth. We become more relatable, more empathetic, and more honest. We shed the weight of pretending to be someone we're not, and we discover the freedom that comes with being unapologetically ourselves. So, I say, let us celebrate vulnerability, for it is the very essence of our humanity.

God allows us to experience empty in order for us to experience plenty as He fills us back up with Him. Which is why our deepest wounds gain the greatest wisdom because God is growing us in Wisdom and understanding through our pain and suffering.

Our ego is where pride and judgement live. Through our pain, suffering, and sacrifice, it's the only thing that grabs our attention enough to create a humble heart, humility, understanding our place in this world and realizing that we are here for all of us. He gives us the ability to know and understand His unconditional love.
