“An inspiration urging us to give up some true good we already possess in order to pursue a future good is suspect.”

                                      -St Francis de Sales

For Reflection:

Sometimes the evil one keeps us in the pursuit of what seems to be a better or a greater good. This is only to keep us from completing that which God has intended for us. Have I fallen victim to this ploy of Satan in the past? Am I being tempted to fall ploy to it now? (See tomorrow’s Grace Line for another tactic the evil one uses to keep us from fulfilling God’s will for us.)
