The Voice of the Tempter

Just as the addict longs for paradise, or the person dealing with sexual temptation longs for intimacy, our temptations can be clues to what is missing in our lives, clues to needs and hungers that sometimes only God can fill. But if we are to allow God to fill those needs, we must resist the false pursuit of other ways of filling them. In order to say Yes to God, we must first say No to the voice of the Tempter.
