reassurance

i was reading a devotional book the other day, and the section was about satan's temptations. it really impressed me. here it is. i'm going from memory, bc it is one of those 'a page a day' type devotionals, so i couldn't find it again. it went something like: many Christians think that they are the worst, that they are the worst, bc satan is always tempting them. it went on to talk about how if the church is growing, satan tries to divide it, or if a person is comming closer to God, he tries to distract them with worldly things. here is the reassurance part, it said, that these asaults by satan are a cause for joy! the assure us that we are getting closer to God, and that he is trying to stop us from doing so. i just thought it was awesome that someone thought- satan's temptations can be a reassurance, instead of a reason to doubt, and be troubled.i love you guys
