What Worries Screwtape?

                              

                                                         What Worries Screwtape? 

C S Lewis wrote an engaging book about a high-ranking demon, named Screwtape, whose job it was to mentor new demons and make them productive agents for their boss, Satan.

In the book, which Lewis titled 'The Screwtape Letters,' we read these words written to Wormwood, a new recruit:

   Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger than when a       human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks out             upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks       why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.

These words are so compelling to me. I keep rereading them. I a deeply moved.

I want to be that kind of Christian.
