The closer you get to God, the more the devil will put trials in your life. The more you pray the more obstacles the devil will put in your path. If the devil is leaving you alone, you should be more concerned than those who are enduring the afflictions. Because if the devil is leaving you alone, he most likely already has your soul.
We were given 'free will' to decide our own path. It isn't love if there is no other choice. It isn't right if there is no wrong. You can't understand good if there was no bad. You wouldn't know what beautiful is if you couldn't see ugly.
We live in a war between the devil and the Lord. The devil is doing all he can to win souls, and God did one thing to save souls. He gave us His son in human form to show us it is possible to live for God and be rewarded with heaven. God doesn't have to fight the devil. In the blink of an eye, He could destroy the devil and all his followers, and He will in the end.
God lets us fight our own good fight. It's our own choice to follow the path to heaven or to serve the leader of hell. In the end, God will prevail. Hell will be destroyed and all those who chose that path. Those that served the Lord in this lifetime, will go on to serve Him in eternity.
If one thinks this little life is all there is, I feel for them. There is so much beauty, precision and great details in the world and all that inhabit here. There is no way this is all there is. This life is but a learning phase, to bring us to what is coming next.
Our world is but one little marble in God's bag of marbles. Our universe his playground. Imagine being the only ONE of what you are. You too would create things to watch, interact with and to love. Something to give you love in return. If you had the power to create anything and everything, what would you use the power to do?
God created us for His joy and pleasure. He gave us free will so that the love would be a true choice.
The devil thinks he is an equal and our souls are the score card. The more people he can turn from God the more he thinks he's winning.
So I will say it again. If the devil isn't tormenting your life, chances are he already has your soul. The closer you get to God the stronger the battle with evil.
Blessed by God
