What if someone walked up to you and offered you everything you ever dreamed of, would you take it. Picture this, the perfect spouse, the greatest children, the best house money can buy, and the job that everyone wants to retire from, would you accept it. Unlimited power, right at your finger tips, as Rumpelstiltskin would say, "the deal of a life time." Or would you be able to walk away, knowing that it would cost you more then you really wanted to give up? Satan did exactly that to Jesus in Matthew 4:9, imagine the biggest problem you think you are facing and the solution being handed to you on a silver plater! The devil knows what it takes to motivate you, but the problem is that you can only serve one God, and although Jesus was tempted in every way possible the bible says, he had the Courage to turn to the enemy, recognizing who he was and told him to get out of his way, because he knew that by obtaining the gifts from God instead of thru the devil, was the keys to the kingdom. It is true that God wants you to have the desires of your heart, cause he put them there in the first place, but the process he wants you to go through, unlike in the case of the devil will build you up from the inside to have the character to maintain what he gives you and to sustain it for generations to come....
