Why is it that people only feel validated when they can wield power over and inflict pain onto others?

Long story for another time, but I am so happy to know that our Lord has restored you to the land of the living and right where He intends you to be.<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-80524978523010036442012-05-20T18:06:52.667-07:002012-05-20T18:06:52.667-07:00Galen, I'm so glad imagining Jesus as Ralphie ...Galen, I'm so glad imagining Jesus as Ralphie made you laugh. This image was definitely inspired by God for me. As a teacher for many years, the most detestable thing was seeing/dealing with bullying. We know this is exactly what the demons in our lives do to us. Demean us. Break our spirits. Try to separate us from the love of God.<br />I think we will truly shoot our eyes out if we don't ask for help in the fight. The knock-out punch can only come from our Lord.<br />Thanks so much for stopping by and may God bless!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-57148587225184669932012-05-20T15:21:27.737-07:002012-05-20T15:21:27.737-07:00Martha, this is timely.

Thankfully, my hero, Jesus, gave me permission to brush off the dust and return to the land of the living.

But when I first read about the demons that plagues us (we both wrote about demons this week!), I thought about the story of Milarepa who invited the demons to tea, the point being that we give power to our demons by being afraid of them or fighting them.
