John 10:10 A thief is someone that takes something that doesn’t belong to them. The Enemy is looking to take my peace and contentment, kindness, patience, love for God, or my time with God. He only takes things God has given me. God is a giver and the Enemy is a taker. I can take back what he has stolen because it belongs to me.
