Satan seeks a gap called a grudge. John Piper
Last weekend I talked with the kids in my community about grudges. In the lives of believers the enemy of our Creator, and therefore us, uses grudges to create divisions, gaps, unforgivenesss, rifts, jealousy, anger, bitterness, etc. Wherever the enemy of our souls thinks he can wiggle in he will. Wherever he thinks he can become an obstacle to right behavior, healthy relationships, and God honoring lives he will. He seeks weakness in us and takes advantage of it. And we play into his hands when we allow the grudge that has been birthed to be fed, to grow, to masquerade as truth. If he finds the gap in your life he will push it wider apart unless you are tuned in to his ways. Don't allow grudges to be birthed in your life. Don't allow them to be fed and grow and take over your demeanor and behaviors. Once you are aware of a grudge in your life take care of it, close the gap it seeks to create before the enemy gets a hold of it...and you.
