This past week I read The Screwtape Letters for my CS Lewis literature class and was amazed at how much spiritual insight its pages contained.  One thing I took from the book was how little power the devil really has over us in comparison to God.  Although the devils in the story found hundreds of sneaky ways to manipulate their “patients” into sin, they were constantly overcome by “the Enemy”.  In a few letters Screwtape complained about some of the unfair advantages that God had and how they couldn’t wrap their minds around the concept of love, and you just have to feel sorry for them.  They have absolutely no shot at finding any type of joy except through God, but they don’t realize how easy God makes it to return to Him and become like Him.  The devil can twist things and try to pull us off course, but we are never out of reach of the Atonement and loving guidance from Heaven.  No matter how many times we make the same mistake or push God out of our lives, He is always there to lead us back to safety.
