Something my pastor said today regarding suicide:

“The voice in your head telling you to kill yourself is never from God.”

If you haven’t ever been told this or you’re having trouble remembering it lately: God loves you. God adores you. The Bible even says that God delights in you. You are His precious child. You are not a mistake, a failure, or any of those things the world and your mind try to tell you. You are a precious, sweet, loved, adored, cherished child of the most high God. The Creator thought of this world and felt that it needed you. He is not ashamed of you. He loves you. He is not looking down on you wishing He’d never created you. He adores you. Jesus is not looking at you wishing He’d never died for you. He died for you because He delights in you, because you are His precious child, His beloved, His treasure. So please go easy on yourself tonight and rest in His great love. Because I promise you that it’s the type of love that will never end.

God: I can work with that.

Moses: I have no idea what I’m doing in life.

God: I can work with that.

Women at the well: I have divorced many times.

God: I can work with that.

recognizing your face when you see your own selfie is completely underrated

Fun with schizophrenia :D

Emptying your meds in your hand at dinner in a restaurant while singing “do you hear what I hear?...”

Don’t forget to laugh lovies.

To all lesbians, God loves you and wants to have a relationship with you. You are loved beyond your wildest dreams. He will always accept you and never turn His back on you, no matter what people in this world may say.

Hey, sorry to interrupt your scrolling, but I just wanted to remind you that you are awesome and loved. Thanks! Carry on…

what doesnt kill you makes you dissociate and become another person

Something from Marylon

I would like to turn your attention to the large elephant in the room. Gaze upon his glory. Look upon the strong muscles of his hips. Yes, it is real, you can touch him. Yet God remains aloof. I remain in the ether, the unknown world of the untouched. But perhaps I am real. You believe in yourself yet not in the untestable? You are foolish, are you so simple as to predict your own every movement? I tell you I do not fit into one of your boxes, nice neat laboratory material. No, life is gray and gray it should stay least we all end up reduced to barcodes. For how thick is your manual to fit the likes and distastes of every human? -Marylon (poet, mother figure, soother)

I think she is talking about how we don’t fit into nice neat categories and we shouldn’t expect that of others. -Kasey (host)

P.S. Does anyone know what type of writing this is?

Jesus loves you.
