angel of light.

If the Devil looked anything but an angel we would say no.
Ugly is easy to avoid.
We avert our eyes when we encounter the visually unpleasant.
Beauty attracts though.
We follow the fair to the ends of the earth regardless of rhyme or reason.
Evil is wicked cruel, the tendrils of its power choking the life out of our soul.
And maybe foolishness is a part of evil, but the instigator of evil is far from foolish.
He know what draws in our heart.
And he plays us so, so well.
Yes is the word we try so hard not to say to temptation.
We seethe with frustration because it is so hard to say no.
By ourselves we say yes or we get angry.
We do not have to though.
In Christ, those of us who are His have the grace to say no and to walk away.
To see evil as the empty grey it truly is.
To find they reality of beauty and truth in the sunset and say yes to the beauty that is good.
