Conflicting Heart

they didn't believe that He created everything for the best--it just seemed too good.
and they wanted to shoot down the stars because
then there would be darkness in the world and when there was darkness
there would be fear ,and that's what he could use to persuade the people of the world.
they wanted to mar everything that was made by the One God because if they could take away anything from Him, that would hurt Him and hurting Him was what mattered to him the most.

the stone cold heart of the devil:

he believed he could do better than Him.
So turn them away from Him, that's what will hurt Him the most.
Make it so that they do not trust him from the start. Make it so that they are blind to His goodness, make it so that His name does not seem good to them. Instead, make my  name great.
Mar His name, so that others will think wrongly of Him. They will accuse Him of doing wrong towards them, not having their greatest interest at heart, not loving them truly because-- if such bad things should visit on us, then of course He does not really love us?

Isn't He the God of love?

the heart of a servant of God:

Though you should be the one to be pitied the most because of your despise of God
because you are the greatest of all prisoners---imprisoned by your desire to do to a perfect and Holy and Sovereign God something that can not be done.
You are trying your best to persuade as many away from Him as you can, and make it the worst possible it can be for Him before the Cross even to the point of having one of his friends betray him with a kiss, but you are only making it worse for yourself.

I pity you because your heart will never change.

He created and loved you , but you rebelled.

Search Me , O God and reveal in me any wayward spirit and bring it back to You!
