#669 - Excerpt from Epic, The Story God is Telling by John Eldredge

"Satan came into the Garden and whispered to Adam and Eve - and in them, to all of us - "You can not trust the heart of God...he's holding out on you...you've got to take matters under your control."  He sowed the seed of mistrust in our hearts; he tempted us to seize control.  It's the same lie he is using in your life today, by the way: "Trusting God is way too risky.  You're far too vulnerable.  Rewrite the Story.  Give yourself a better part.  Arrange for your own happiness.  Disregard him."  The Evil One lied to us about where true life was found...and we believed him."
