Turkish Delight
Your law is my delight. Psalm 119:174
In C. S. Lewis The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the White Witch needed to know only one thing about Edmund to get him to betray his siblings. By asking a few simple questions, the witch learned that Edmunds weakness was his love for a candy called Turkish Delight. The piece she gave to Edmund was more delicious than anything he had ever tasted. Soon Edmund could think only about trying to shovel down as much Turkish Delight as he could, and the more he ate the more he wanted.
Each of us has a vulnerability like Edmunds that Satan is eager to exploit. It may be something addictive like drugs or alcohol, or it may be something seemingly harmless and perhaps even good like food, friendship, or work.
After His resurrection, Jesus asked Peter this personal and probing question: Do you love Me more than these? (John 21:15). Many have speculated as to what Jesus meant by the word these, but its probably better that we dont know. It allows each of us to personalize the question and ask ourselves, What do I love more than Jesus?
When Satan finds out what we love more than God, he knows how to manipulate us. But he loses his power over us when we delight in the Lord.
I love Thee, because Thou hast first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvarys tree;
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, tis now. Featherstone

LOL Jaycee.. KNOW you really would NOT do this. Sometimes even vile things seem humorous!
With Picasa you can click on & look at each pix separately OR select SLIDE show button (towards top/left). Once in slide show at bottom is time you can adjust. The default is three seconds.
