Temptations

April 25

 The temptations and storms that are around in your head are sure signs of divine favor. The fear of offending you God is the surest proof that does not offend.
Trust with unlimited confidence in the divine goodness, and the more intensified the enemy attacks, you should leave you more confidence in the breast of sweet heavenly bridegroom, who will never allow you to be defeated. The same God has solemnly proclaimed in Holy Scripture: "God is faithful who will not let you be tempted beyond your strength. Rather, with the temptation will give you strength to overcome it. "
Convinced of the contrary is an infidelity, and God save us from falling into such an aberration. Paul also was worried and asked to be released from the ordeal of the flesh, he also feared intensely succumb, but does not guaranteed that the assistance of grace will always be enough?
Our enemy, sworn to harm us, wants to persuade the contrary, but in Jesus' name desprécialo and laugh heartily of it. This is the best remedy to make retreat. He is strong with the weak, but with whom you will be faced with the gun in her hand becomes a villain. Fear not however, but with holy fear, I mean the fear is never separated from love. When both fear and love are linked together, give each other the hand, like two sisters, to keep users up and to walk safely along the paths of the Lord.
