You are what you create

The Devil doesn't make us do anything.
The Devil, for example, doesn't make us mean.
Rather, when we're mean, we make the Devil.
Literally.
Our actions create him.
Conversely, when we behave with
    compassion,
        generosity,
            and grace,
we create God in the world.
