[she-wears-glasses]

Even in your roughest storms, and rains so heavy

you can’t

see in front of you;

His light will

shine

through the darkness for

Him to guide you.

Through it all no matter how rough the storm becomes

He will comfort, and protect you.

When the storms

disappear

and what’s left is sunshine and clear blue skies;

He will still be right next you.

[jesuschristtheprinceofpeace]

Lay down your worries and burdens at the feet of Christ for He will give you rest.

JESUS HEALS A MAN WITH PALSY

Mark 2:9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?

Mark 2:10 But that they may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins,( he saith to the sick of the palsy,)

Mark 2:11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.

Mark 2:12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; in so much that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (Jude 1:21 [KJV])

bless this iteration of Percy Jackson for genuinely believing, for at least three seconds, that he is the second coming of Christ

[noknowshame]

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

Dear eldest child, whoever you are, I wanna make it easy for you.

If you're gonna love, love bravely.

If you are gonna choose to spend your time bettering family, do it wholeheartedly.

Maybe the trick is to not limit God.

Maybe the trick is to love without asking for things in return from people, because you know that God would be the one to bless you enough.

You see obstacles. I have been there. I still see them.

You see your sacrifices being given to people. Let God deal.

In my case, it has been proven and tested how amazing God can be. Not everything is perfect. Not everything I want is happening.

But hope is there in abundance. And with my choice to let faith win, all I need to do is wait and see. Do my best and wait and see.

And my prayer is like this.

That if I am dedicating my life to do what God wants for me, then I'm leaving it to God to take care of what and who matters for me. Because happiness is still mine to claim, and I don't wanna settle for any less than what I am praying for. And may God teach me what to ask of Him because surely they are better than what I could ever imagine.

But in my heart that cried out in apology for once choosing hatred, healing was the answer that I found. And when I started to think that I am not better than them, I saw myself as a child in the palm of God again.

And oh what joy. To have someone I can depend on who truly cares.

Dear eldest daughter/son, hard as it may be, I dare you once again to believe.

I know you feel resentment, but I need you to see that love never left. I know you think it is hatred but I know deep down, you long for a unique kind of love that you know you want more than anything -- the very kind that is overflowing inside of you, the one that can let you rest. I know your resentment is rooted because you thought your love is not being reciprocated and you are not getting enough.

Child, I know. I have been there.

Let go.

This time, I need you to see it. The ones you love, the ones you have been fighting for - they deserve better. But so do you. You do not have to choose one over the other. I know this may sound like nonsense, even insane, but I need you to realize that it is a lie that you have to choose.

Do not limit God.

Love bravely.

Because you know that if you can choose to have infinite capacity to love, you'll do what you do anyway. Because you have the heart that cares for your family. And the thing you are most sorry about, the real truth to what makes you hate is that you believe you're doing the right thing so how dare your heart resent and your mind and body feel too tired to fight.

So let go.

And choose the infinite love of God.

Ask for it so that you can give it. That kind of abundance of loving.

And let Him treat you how He wants you to be treated. With love that flows in abundance. His resources are infinite. His ways beyond human comprehension.

And it does get better.

We will see His goodness in this land of the living. :)

You do your part. But dear eldest child, let go of that burden that you are limited. Your God is unlimited and you are loved.

Parents

Believing in Jesus means believing on all his commandments and laws he came to fulfil. One of those commandments is to honour your parents. -“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you” -Exodus 20:12

Many might not have great parents who incentive them to pursue a relationship with Christ, but that does not mean we should dismiss what they tell us. Honouring them means, respecting things that they tell us to do (that do not put you or your relationship with Christ at risk) even though it might not please you should to comply with your parents rules because it is one of his commandments.

But its important to put your salvation and relationship with Christ first and focusing on God more. "Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me..." "Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. " - Matthew 10:37-39

Like said in the first paragraph to be a believer of Christ you need to believe in all he has said. Just like you believe all your mother tells you when you are young, but there will be times where your parents might lie to you causing for you not to trust them so often, but that the difference between Christ and your parents, the Lord will never forsake you or lie to you that’s why it is in Him that we should trust and love most above all because to love others you first need to love God Yahweh. -Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” -Hebrews 13:5

It’s important to love everyone regardless because if you love someone you will treat them with kindness and respect and that is what the Lord call us to do but some parents might teach you to hate your enemy’s or to treat who you like with kindness that’s why is it important to trust in the Lord your God. - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." -Proverbs 3:5-6

Salvation is individual and you will be persecuted for telling the truth (Good News) even by your own parents that’s why it is necessary to discern if what your parents are telling you will harm your relationship with God. - From now on families will be split apart, three in favor of me, and two against—or two in favor and three against. 53 'Father will be divided against son and son against father; mother against daughter and daughter against mother; and mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law. -Luke 12:52-53

You might abide to what your parents said but you also might have displeased God while doing so and like Scripture tells us, God is the One that we should trust and ultimately Abide to.

What should my next topic be?

honestly no wonder harrow forced ianthe to lobotomize her so she could save gideon. listen…LISTEN…if i was a secret-war-crime cult nunlet princess worshipped by my entire planet and the only person that (barely) kept me in check was my childhood nemesis—a butch a year older than me, towering over me in stature and physical prowess, and so hot it made my teeth hurt from how hard my jaw clenched in her presence, who wielded a two-handed seven-foot sword and had irritatingly huge biceps and told very lewd stupid jokes and also learned how to wield an entirely new weapon and be my bodyguard with startling accuracy in three months—only to have us finally learn to trust each other because we got invited to a magic murder mystery and then before the bubble burst i spilled the worst secret about myself that i was born because my parents murdered an entire generation and tried to Kill Her along with them and she just wouldnt die, and i told her this expecting a swift death i believed i deserved, only for her to fucking cradle me in her big butch arms and kiss me on my forehead with her soft butch mouth and just. forgive me for a shameful weight ive carried my entire life and then MAKE AN ACTUAL NECRO/CAV VOW with me despite every evil thing i have done to her……to have her tell me, in the end, bleeding and broken after putting up the most beautiful and glorious fight of her life, that she understands purpose and she understands duty and she knows loyalty more fiercely than ever now, that she knows who she is to me, that there is no her without me….to have her backed into a corner and make the ultimate sacrifice…..for me…..to recite scriptural wedding vows of eternity to me in her last wisps of soul-consciousness…..if i thought there was even a snowflake’s chance in the pyre that i could save her by turning myself into her very own locked tomb, i’d be begging ianthe tridentweirdius to crack my skull open and turn me to mush too, goddamn. i understand you harrowhark girl you don’t have to explain a thing to me. god said you couldn’t undo the lyctor’s bond bc it’d kill you. you told god and his angels that not even a lyctor’s bond could outshine the power of female spite and lesbianism and they didn’t listen. they didn’t believe you. but i heard you loud and clear and i was 17 and hormonal and hopelessly romantic not too long ago unlike those fucking dinosaurs and i’m saying it’s valid it’s what i would have done and really everyone should be thanking you for not being worse and more wretched about it, all things considered

John 8:12 KJV

[am-i-the-asshole-official]

Am I the asshole for getting my best friend killed?

I swear to God, it was an accident.

My (27) BF (34) has a reputation for getting himself out of any jam you can imagine; and at first it was just a fun little thing the friend group noticed: there goes Oily J wiggling his way out of trouble again. but as the meme evolved in the group, it got to the point where we'd loykey started getting him into situations just to see how he'd get out of 'em, and he akept getting out of em. He was having fun with it too same as us. "Oh you guys," he'd say, "getting me into situations again," before laughing it off and getting out of it, so it was enrichment for our shared enclosures, and as time went on, the situations got more intense.

The trouble is, it turns out that putting a man in too many situations eventually gets the police interested. And not local hobsknockers cops either; they was like, proper three-letter FEDs. They put out a bounty on any information pertaining to his capture and everything. It was good money too so I thought, hey why don't I put J in another situation he can wiggle out of like always (and he'd wiggled outta worse before, so I thought this one'd be relatively mild), and at the next boardgame night (cause it was too late to do anything special for this one) we can buy some extra strong booze and get absolutely blitzed while having a giggle about the situation.

Boardgame night, and we were playing some social deduction nonsense or another and he says: "One of you is gonna betray me tonight." and I can't help but think, looking back on it, that he knew. It's stupid, I know he was talking about the game, but the way he said it, it was like he knew. We all felt it, and we had a big round robin round the table taking turns promising that we'd never betray him. And I said it so easily cause I thought it was true. Sure, I was gonna talk to the feds about a bounty; but, I fully expected my big beautiful oily boy to wiggle his way out of the trouble I was 'bout to cause, and that's not a betrayal. I wasn't lying. I didn't think I was lying.

My big beautiful oily boy didn't manage to wiggle his way out of it. They killed him and I got my blood money. He's gone.

He's gone and I'm devastated, crying, mourning. I loved him so much. We all did. And I can't stop thinking that it's my fault: that I'm the reason he's gone. and it is. and the guilt is eating me up inside. and I just need to talk to someone about it. So, I tell the rest of the group what happened in the group chat, hoping they'd understand that I didn't want this. I didn't want the government's blood money. It was supposed the be a prank. some joint enclosure enrichment. He was supposed to wiggle out of it like he always does... did, i mean.

They call me, among worse things, the asshole and kick me from the group chat. And, I know it's my fault he's dead: I know that. If I didn't do what I did, he wouldn't be dead right now. But, I didn't mean it for it to end up this way. He was supposed to be okay, damn it. I loved him. AITA?

What are these acronyms?
