needed to live in God's world. In spite of all these gifts of God, why did Satan not show gratitude to God? The reason for this is that the temperament of complaining became so predominant in Satan that he forgot all the other numerous blessings of God. He generalized one event of complaint so much that he could not remember anything other than this grievance. With one instance of grievance, man forgets all the other good things in his life, choosing to focus only on the issue of complaint in his heart. The special method that Satan employs to mislead man is by exaggerating the grievances of man. This negative attitude is so enhanced by Satan that with one instance of grievance, man forgets all the other good things in his life, choosing to focus only on the issue of complaint in his heart. He generalizes this one negative instance so much that he is unable to see or acknowledge all the other positive things in his life. In spite of countless instances for gratitude he becomes ungrateful. Those who find themselves in such a feeling of ungratefulness should conclude that they are under the influence of Satan. They should immediately seek forgiveness from God and change their outlook. o NOTICE Subscribers are requested to inform us about non-receipt of their copies, latest by 18th of the month providing their full name and address.
