Similarly, C. S. Lewis was asked the question by a young man after writing “The Screwtape Letters” – conversations of demons as they work for Satan in attacking Children of God.
“When you wrote the book – did Satan give you trouble – and if so
what did you do about it?”
C. S. Lewis replied to this young man’s letter soon after stating Satan was active with plenty of temptations,
“Perhaps . . .the most important thing is to
KEEP ON
not to be discouraged however often one yields to temptation,
but always to pic yourself up again and ask forgiveness!”
Toddlers, learning to walk, are more on their bottoms than on their feet. But none that I have seen wallow in their failures, despairing and despondent – NO. Off they go again, gaining strength, becoming more steady on their feet and soon running everywhere!
So, dear ones, let us -
keep on going
go on
go on
go on
go on
We are forgiven! We are growing! We soon will be running into the Father’s welcoming arms!
