    I think the devil as perfected his act of stealing, killing and destroying if he is allowed to. All he ever desires to do in anyone's life is to take away from them and leave them worse off than they were before.

     

    Have you ever being in a tight situation and you are unhappy, depressed, weak and you feel stagnant? If you have, you will agree it is not a good place to be. The devil makes you feel until you have that thing or do that thing you cannot be happy. He lies to you that your esteem, essence and dignity is tied to that thing, but the devil is a liar. Our value is not based on what we have, do, achieve or become. Our value is in the fact that God loved, loves and forever loves us.

     

    Maybe you don't have a job yet, you don't have a child yet, you have not gained admission yet, the visa is not coming yet, the relationship is not there yet.... Your greatest victory is keeping your joy while that which you desire is yet to come. The devil wants to keep you stagnant, lying to you that you cannot move forward until that desire is granted. But what a lie! God holds your future beautifully well. God has our lives planned out he knows what He is doing.

     

    While you are on your way to getting that thing or becoming that person, don't focus on what you do not have yet. Focusing on that will get you unhappy and frustrated. What you don't have will blind you from seeing what you have and the great opportunities around you. Opportunities to build great friendships, opportunities to develop and discover yourself, develop new talents, sharpen your skills, add value to your life, learn to enjoy life, develop a deeper relationship with God etc the list is endless. God's word tells us to focus on the things we are yet to see and ignore the fact of our present situation.

     

    Don't waste where you are now. It's just a matter of time and this season will be over, this season will come to pass. By the time what you are longing for finally comes you will see that it was not worth it whining, worrying, complaining about your long awaited desires. You would have lost time forever you should have used in productive activities that will be useful to you when you eventually move to your next level.

     

    When you don't give in to feeling sorry for yourself, you will be amazed how that situation will turn out for your good making you a better person. Your present situation is actually meant to be a gift to you, an addition not a minus. You would have gained and learnt so much and yet still have that desire come to pass. That is what God means by giving us double for our trouble.
