why i need to chase theemospirit away

For those who have read Screwtape letters and know who Wormwood & Screwtape are, i can imagine such a letter written tonight. (hurhur.)

Dear Screwtape,

Today, Wormwood has learnt and achieved something. There is good sorrow and there is bad sorrow. There is sorrow that brings them closer to God and there is sorrow that draws them further away from God; and the latter is one powerful tool that we can use. There is a thin line between the two, and one must notice the difference between them. There is the grieve that causes repentance, and there is the grieve that refuses joy and comfort. The latter can spread like a virus - silently and unknowing to the host, it leeches on and multiplies from within. It spreads quickly, and is deadly. Master Screwtape, it is so easy for humans to become self-absorbed and wrapped up in their grieve, that they will only focus on their problems ahead, failing to notice the bigger God who is behind them. The tears clog up their eyes, magnify their awful circumstances and diminish the good God. They sulk and become restless. They become easily agitated, and are much easier to trick and to deceive.

Our work is easy when they become disconnected from God.

Wormwood.
