Do you know my dear brother how God wants you to be? Just as you do not want your spouse to have any relationship with another person, similarly, God does not want you to have anything to do with the devil.
Would you be happy if your husband or wife
committed adultery with another person? No! How about if your spouse were to just kiss someone else? You do not even want this to happen. This is how God also wants you to be, my brother: He does not want you to have even the slightest contact with the devil.
St. Kosmas Aitolos
