Satan is a liar. He’s like one of those seedy used car dealers with the creepy mustache and greasy combover. He’s like one of those guys at a party who makes the rounds, spitting a line to every girl there until he finds one desperate enough to go home with him. He’ll say anything to get what He wants. Satan thrives on the power of suggestion. His biggest weapon is his cunning voice, and he will literally tell you anything to make you discouraged, afraid, filled with doubt and full of guilt. In other words, he wants to neutralize you, and he does it by lying. The cool thing about this is, that the next time you get discouraged, guilt-ified or afraid, look around and see if you smell sulfur, because that diabolical rascal is probably close behind. Then, instead of just letting yourself get neutralized, ask yourself this: “Okay, what is the lie? What line am I being sold right now?” Do that, and you’ve mastered the first step towards working your way out. Jesus, on the other hand, never lies. He’s never put up a front or tried to sell you. Every word that comes from His mouth is life-giving, chain-breaking truth, and that includes words that are hard to hear. One time Jesus exposed a whole truckload of sinful junk a troubled woman was hiding behind. It probably hurt, but it was the truth and right after He did it, she became the first person to find out Jesus was the Messiah who could save her. I love Jesus because He only tells me the truth, and even when it’s hard to hear, it’s exactly what I need.
