"Somebody will say something like "I can't help myself" but let me tell you something. Listen, the devil can't make a Child of God do anything. He cannot make you. He will lead you, he will guide you, he'll entice you, tempt you but he can't make you." - Dr. Charles Stanley.

Once you have surrendered yourself to Christ, once you have been born again, and once you're gifted with the Holy Spirit, you are a Child of God and therefore you're no longer a slave to the world. You're no longer a slave to the spiritual principalities that rule this word (Ephesians 2:2, Proverbs 1:10).

As a Child of God we are called and expected to walk in step with the Holy Spirit on a "moment by moment" basis. Meaning we don't seek him once a day, once a week, once a month, only when we're in trouble and distress, but on a moment to moment basis. Seeking him every moment of everyday.

We do this because everyday we wake up we face three enemies:

The world

The flesh

The devil

This is why we seek the Spirit on a moment by moment basis. We seek his council, his wisdom, his strength. We seek him when we are inevitably confronted by one of these three enemies and they can come at any moment.

Moment by moment we should be listening to the Holy Spirit. Why? Because he is our guide. He is our gift from the Father above.

Trust me, I know how hard it can be to struggle with sin, to struggle with giving in. I understand just as much as anybody. But I promise you, it's possible to live life without sin, I've done it before, I can do it again. And I know you can too. Amen, may God bless you, always. 🤍

Ephesians 1:14 NLT

[14] The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.

Romans 8:4

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

🌸💗"Whoever accepts a little child like this in my name is accepting me. And anyone who accepts me is also accepting the one who sent me. The one among you who is the most humble —this is the one who is great."💫

one day at a time, kids. i love you and i'm rooting for you. if you have religious trauma, i'm so sorry that Christ was misrepresented. you were in a "religious" home or enviornment. not a Christian home or environment

“Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.”

This is something everyone seems to forget

a devout christian cis woman has been experiencing increasingly intense cramps during her menstrual cycle. she makes an appointment with a gynecologist.

i’m sorry, the gynecologist says. you have a medical condition that makes pregnancy unsafe for you. i recommend an IUD or other form of long term birth control to ensure you won’t get pregnant.

that’s okay, says the woman. god loves me, god has a plan for me, god will not let me get pregnant.

she goes home and tells her husband and he gets worried.

i don’t know, he says. maybe we should use condoms from now on.

it’s okay, says the woman. god loves me, god has a plan for me, god will not let me get pregnant.

they have sex for the first time since her diagnosis and her husband suggests the morning after pill to be safe.

it’s okay, says the woman. god loves me, god has a plan for me, god will not let me get pregnant.

a month and a half after that she’s missed a period and is feeling nauseous sometimes in the mornings. she takes a pregnancy test and it’s positive. she goes back to the gynecologist.

i’m sorry, the gynecologist says. but it’s very unlikely that you’ll survive this pregnancy. i recommend that you terminate and again take some form of long term birth control.

it’s okay, says the woman. god loves me, god has a plan for me, god will not let me or this child die.

at 20 weeks she goes into early labor. her husband rushes her to the hospital but the baby is born too early to be saved and the woman bleeds out as the doctors try to save her.

when she gets to heaven she asks to speak to god and she tells him:

i don’t understand. i was a good christian. i prayed. i trusted in you. i didn’t get an abortion. why did you let me die

and god says i sent you a warning from the gynecologist, condoms, the morning after pill, and the option for an abortion. what are you doing here?

And they blamed God for the atrocities they inflicted on themselves, human to human.

They asked why He looked on as they dismantled each other.

They couldn't even use right the thing they bragged about: free will.

"God, intervene" - their excuses are their acceptances that they can't be without You.

I don’t doubt, sometimes, that I may not make it, among the chosen ones, the steadfast, the unwavering, the ones who stood firm against sin.

But still, I try. And my trying will only cease the day He has fated my end. Perhaps by then, I will have earned my passage to the joys and everlastings of His promise.

I still hope. I still see the possibility. I still long to be part of that eventuality, in the land where milk and honey flow.

Sometimes, my thoughts tangle me up, is this earth just a war between God and the gods, a battle for who claims the most souls in the end?

But then I tell myself, I’d rather be among those where Jesus is the Son, God is the Father, and the Holy Spirit walks beside me.

That is where I fight to belong.

This life, a gift from the Almighty GOD. But I wonder SOMETIMES if He had let us see first, see what’s here, what lingers in hearts, what other souls are capable of, would any of us have accepted this beloved gift of existence?

Personally, I don't think I would but I thank him now that am here, now that I know that with him this all chaos is bearable.

There are no miracles

without

the sadness of life.

For in sorrow, turmoil, and hopelessness,

God reveals Himself

most to those who trust in Him. Be strong in God.

Now, if you cannot prove to me that science solely exists on its own,

please let me believe my God in peace.

For all your knowledge, inventions, discoveries might as well be duplications of what God already created in the beginning.

Tell me something new— something beyond the CHATGPT that thinks like a man, replies like a man, and relies solely on the knowledge of man, a creation of God.

So let me have my God, while you perfect your machines.

I am losing my religion Only to find God.

i am losing the preacher man's address only to find the scripture's directions.

i am losing all hope only to find my life beautifully wovened from the start to end by God.

Losing and gaining, losing and gaining.

God, the divine architect of justice and fairness.

Love yourself

Day 3/365 I WON'T GIVE UP!

Thank you jesus for new day in mylife 🏷😇

I'm thankful for all your good dids to me.

Thank you heavenly father !!

Because Him’s Alive

Watch the video!! It’s really good stuff! Promise!

Also lil somethin I finally connected this week

Easter comes from the word East, which is the direction that the sun rises from each and every day. Sun rises are often symbols of literal new days. New hopes. Fresh Beginnings. I think it’s a beautiful metaphor that of all the titles we could call this holiday, we ch pose the simple reminder that because the Son did rise, we can all rise again as well. 🌅🌱 Happy Easter Y’all🌱🌅

Please please please remember that God loves you in ways you can’t even imagine and because of Him, you can always change, you can always grow, and are never alone in doing so 🫂🧡🌱

Relentless

Relentless (adj): continuing in a determined manner without any interruption.

I hope that I word this well enough to adequately get my feelings across but I had a little thought today about Jesus love for all of us. 

And one specific scripture comes to mind. Roman 8:38-39 which reads

“38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

While reading this, the definition of the word relentless also comes to mind. This meaning, Jesus’ love for us is the real deal. It’s not going away whether we feel like we deserve it or not. 

I know what that’s like. Thinking that there’s this…version I have to be before I become worthy of His or anybody’s love. I know what it’s like to feel like I have earn, work or prove that I’m perfect to some degree or fashion to just be worth the time and effort of acknowledgment.

It’s such a sad little lie that I’ve unfortunately been believing for most of my life. But the cool thing with getting older, is a little bit of maturity and perspective. And some of that perspective has led me to see my relationship with Jesus and His love for me just a smidge differently. 

Now, in my head, I just imagine Jesus donning the outfit of a linebacker or something football related. He’s plopping his helmet on top of his head as he gets down in his hike ready position before he starts booking it down the field, full on tackling the obstacles and sins of life that prevent His love from getting through. Literally doing EvErYtHiNg in His power to try and reach me. 

And the best part? It’s not just me. He’s trying to reach US. Because WE are His end goal. Now. Always. AND forever.

That love is perfect and eternal and it NEVER changes in intensity or direction.

Jesus is constantly, relentlessly pursing us with His arms WIDE open to receive us home.

So come home friend. In anyway that means to you. Let yourself be loved and know that you ARE enough. You ARE loved. 🫂💙✨

Light the World Prompt for day 7: Compliments

Howdy *waves* I am a verbal processor. A random starting line I know, but I promise it’ll be worth it in the end if you keep reading. As a verbal processor that means I need to discuss or talk things out enable to put organization to the unorganized chaos that is my mind. This unfortunately means that I am talking preeeeeettty much most of the time😅

However, one good thing about this is that I live by the saying “If you see something, say something.” That means that when I saw something SO impactful that the I immediately wanted to tell someone about it because it excited me or intrigued me. So when I compliment you, it means I saw something in you that I just got so excited to see that I just had to tell you, so you could get excited too!

So Friend, lemme tell you what I see:

I see you there Friend, tired and hurting from the struggles of your life. I see you, getting up every day and doing your best to do something. I see you reaching out to help friends and family members even when sometimes nobody takes the time to help you. I see you sitting by yourself with a lonely sigh. I see you, crying into your pillow alone at night. I see you sick and tired of not being heard or misunderstood. I see you putting your heart and soul into whatever the work it is you do, and while it may never get the attention it deserves, it’s still beautiful.

YOU are beautiful. Yes, I’m looking at you. I see YOU. You’ve got a beautiful soul friend, one that is uniquely yours. It’s brilliant, Darlin’. And in a world that keeps getting increasingly dark, we need YOUR light. Yes, YOURS! Because it’s simply a better place when you are HERE.

Don’t let ANYBODY tell you otherwise (feel free to dm me if you need me to fight someone) and that includes yourself. You ARE worth the time. You ARE worth the effort n the love. Simply because YOU. ARE. WORTH. IT.

In whatever way you say it, I love you friend. And just in case nobody told you today:

I’m grateful you’re here. I’ve never seen a smile quite like yours. *grins* Ah there it is! Look at how beautiful you are. Keep smiling like that, Beautiful. You deserve it and the world.

Don’t EVER forget how much good you AlReAdY do. Don’t EVER forget how loved you already are.😊🧡✨

Here’s my big boi with the biggest heart I know, to help send the message home. If you EVER need a reminder, please feel free to talk to me. You don’t ever have to go whatever it is alone, ok?🧡

Light the World Challenge for today: Music brightens the mood. Share a song with someone today 😊

One of my favorite quotes is “If art is how we fill up space, then music is how we fill up time.”

I think that’s a beautiful statement because discovery or creation of music is inevitably the discovery and creation of ourselves. Another form of self expression that can be shared to the enjoyment of everybody around.

As such I’d like to share my favorite song with y’all today: it’s called ‘Wildflowers’ by Maddie Poppe.

My feelings associated with this song can be summed in the words of my favorite poet, Nikita Gill.

If anybody wants to swap and talk about music, I’m all ears 😄🧡🙌🏼
