Two Forces

Let's be clear:
There are two forces at work in each of our lives.
One is for good.
One is for evil.
This is quite literally a very basic, if not the most basic, reality in our lives.

We have two voices in our head at all times and let me be clear:
Satan's voice is LOUD. It is like a megaphone in our sensitive ears at ALL times. 
It is in our face.
It does not feel good.
It turns us away from light, and toward negativity.
Now, it can and is certainly sly a lot of the time.
Little steps that desensitize us from the Spirit so that evil can slowly but very surely take over.
And, take over it does!!!



Just like God is in every detail of our life, so is Satan and his legion of followers.
Satan LOVES to tell us the very worst of ourselves:
We are not worthy, we have gone too far "astray," we are ugly, fat, poor, unlovable, not smart enough...
We are not valuable, we are what everyone else says we are, they are right to bully us, etc.

Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost tell us that we are worthy, full of value, divine...
There is no shame or scorn.
Our Savior has paid the price for us.

Agency is a gift... trust me.
Once you've been an addict (which is the only thing that takes away our agency), agency becomes the most sought-after blessing.
Use your agency to choose to believe that God loves you.
Satan does not.
That still, small voice that brings comfort, love, light... that's not Satan.
Be aware!!
