Day 24 of the February daily challenge

(You are poisoning my mind!) 

Part 3

Poor girl. She wasn't sleeping normally. She couldn't sleep. She had to many thoughts on her mind. Okay maybe she slept like one or two but not much longer. She woke up the next morning and had more questions for Lotso. 

"How did you still love God after all that God did to you?" The little girl said. She wasn't so little, she was 15 years old. 

"First of all, everyone always gives credit to God for ruining their lives. God never leaves anyone. We never take consideration that Satan has influence. No one blames him but we blame God? The thing is that we are getting to that time where we don't no much about Satan. Satan is real. Satan has specific power. There are things he can do to Christians even. He cannot touch them because of Jesus but he can put thoughts in your mind and influence you to do wrong. Satan has more power over the nonebelievers. He can cast demons in people and that is very real no doubt about that. People have shared testimonies in such matters. Stop blaming God for all the bad stuff in your life."

"But then who has control over someone's death? Satan or God." Asked the little girl.

"Death is not something either controls. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23. This tells us that because we have sinned, therefore death is the penalty, that is the whole reason why God sent Jesus to take our place. If we believe in what he has done for us on the cross, we will be saved. Satan did not create death and God didn't create death. Death is where sin goes. God didn't create sin, and Satan didn't either. Sure Satan loves tricking people into that but he didn't create it." Lotso answered.

"Did God have control over whether my dad would live or die that moment?" The little girl asked.

"You seem to get deciding and knowing. You have been believing that God chose to 'kill' your dad. He didn't choose a certain time for him to die. There are many contriversal studies around this subject, but he knew when your dad would die. Eileen, there are just going to be more questions to every answer I give you, and part of the reason why we can't know everything is because we are limited on earth."

The little girl had an influencial thought in her mind and said, "You are poisoning my mind!"

"Who is poisoning you? God, Satan or me? It seems to me that it is Satan. I have gone trough all of these hardtimes in my life and I cannot make you put your faith in Jesus for what he did for you. You will have to discover that for your self. I have a plane to catch!"

The end!

Keep a smile on your face!
