Screwtape-24

In chpt 24, screwtape talks about how to keep the patient distracted from God by keeping his mind focus on other things such as ; love and his social life.He tells his nephew that the patient is under some degree of illusion as to his own place in it. Under influence of 'love' he may still think himself unworthy of the girl, but he is rapidly ceasing to think himself unworthy of the others. This is to say that the devil goal is to find your weakness and drive on it until you are confused about what's real and what's not. Once the devil knows you have doubt, he will drill in your mind negative thoughts which causes you to believe those things are true about yourself. This can leave you feeling unworthy and depressed. Sometimes we get so caught up in love that we forget about whats important to ourselves. Love can be a good feeling but it also can be very dangerous too, we sometimes lose ourselves in the process of loving others, this is an vicious act of the devil. Just remember love not suppose to hurt, it suppose to feel good and enjoyable.
