Love how you divide one half for evil and the other half for good and the message also is great. You wove a nice one together.

Excellent description my friend. The only reason Satan bothers with us is because the only way he can hurt The Omnipotent One is the hurt that which He loves so he tries to pull us away from Him. Great write. God VBless, JB

Your "diamante" is shaped like a diamond and has all the characteristics of a spiritual gem, Lainie. Indeed, we're all part of the same universe, but we have the free will to make choices that will lead us to God's light. Love, Carolyn
