What bond awaits the person who lets their heart rise above everyone else, thinking that their attitude will make them happy? It's not possible to have this feeling and be successful on the Final Day, when Christ comes to collect us for His eternal Kingdom of love. Never be deceived or think you are better than others. There is only one who is better than everyone else: Jesus, who died on the cross to give us abundant life (John 10:10). Why not live alongside the Creator?

          Man is easily deceived by all that is bad. By considering himself above those around him, he lives without concern for his neighbor or for nature, and even thinks he has no obligation to the constituted authorities. Now, God didn't make man to isolate himself from good things, but to collaborate with everyone in order to also experience happiness. There is no better virtue than doing good!

         When you feel safe, thinking that the evil one can't harm you without God's protection, or thinking that you don't need the Lord, take a step back, pray and ask for forgiveness. Otherwise, you will be standing at the very edge of the abyss. Believing in the Most High and living out your faith in Him are the best attitudes you can have. Inside the Kingdom of Faith, the evil one will never be able to get to you, but outside it, he will (1 John 5:18).

           Feeling haughty, without depending on God, is the worst decision anyone can make in life. The enemy will always have you in his grip. No matter how much a person refuses to walk with God, they see His signature on everything: For from the creation of the world the invisible things of Him, are clearly seen, being understood through the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse (Romans 1.20).

          Never allow yourself to live far from the Father, as if you could hide from Him. Why does man's mind get to this point? As for me, I've always thought: “If God exists, I want to know Him and keep in touch with Him”. I've been doing this since I was a boy, and what delights me most is that everything in the Scriptures is available to us. For this, I praise the Lord, because I have been used to perform the most difficult wonders!   

           When you feel superior or abandoned, seek God in His Word. Pick up the Bible, read a Psalm or a chapter from the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke or John. Do this with an open heart and, before long, you'll feel something catching your attention and, inside you, there will be a small change. Take the chance to get to know your Creator and Father (John 17:3). The preaching that there is no God has hurt many people.

             When they want to celebrate something, you are or have done, run away. The Scriptures say that before honor goes humility (Proverbs 15.33). Don't be haughty or let the devil take control of your life. No matter how strong, intelligent or healthy you are, reject the lies of the evil one. To flee ostentation is to be wise!

           In Christ, with love,
