True Another one of my favorite aspects in the book of Job was God placing a wager on humanity with Satan. It was the ultimate rejection of transactional faith. The devil is a cynic who believes every saint has a price; God is a gambler who bets that the human soul is the only thing in the universe that can't be bought. He answers the "why" of a victim not with a reason, but with a map of the stars. He doesn't justify the pain, He simply outscales it.

The moment people notice you don't need them is the moment they will try to convince you that you do. they cannot stand it, a man who wants nothing is a man they cannot touch. so they will offer you love, respect, belonging, community, all the things you stopped asking for. and if you take it, they will open it hollow inside and climb into you and live there, and you will spend years trying to figure out why you feel empty again. remember this, nobody came to you when you were on the floor. they came when you stood up. that is all you need to know about people

You can’t please everybody, please God

❤️❤️ Happy Mother’s Day ❤️❤️ Appreciation to mothers everywhere who brought us all into the world and nurtured their beloved children 🥰

@lichthauch truer words have never been spoken

Stop counting your fuckups. it is self-gratification. you sit at night running the numbers, thinking the math makes you wise. it makes you nothing. it makes you a man with a list. lives do not add, lives turn, five or six times, thats it. one real move erases the record. not forgiven, not healed, erased. ask any man who finally did the thing he was supposed to do. did the old life follow him? no. it died. it was not even real to begin with. it was rehearsal. every wrong thing you did was practice for the right thing you havent done yet. so do it, or shut up about your regrets. one or the other. there is no third option. there is no working on yourself. there is the move or the lying

At the end of my life, I think I will ask myself two things: 1) Did I get close to my potential? 2) Was I good a person Ultimately I’m not sure which will matter more to me- in that moment But I’d like both to be good answers

There is nothing worth missing heaven for. Leave the scoffers to their judgment, God cannot lie. What sounds dreamy and abstract to many is indeed the resting place prepared for all of God’s elect, free from the brokenness and chaos of this world. If you have ever tasted of any pleasure in this sinful world, it will be nothing compared to dwelling in the presence of the God of all creation, in whom infinite pleasures dwell with. I love how Peter describes it; the Lord has prepared an inheritance that is incorruptible, undefiled and unfading that outweighs all earthly treasures. It means the best of our imagination cannot fathom the glory ahead. And as surely as God is faithful and just, He can never disappoint all those who have placed their trust in Him, embracing them truly because they have been brought into union with the living Christ by faith in His atoning work. This world is not the end. There’s one who came from heaven announcing the gospel of the kingdom, proclaiming to all who will listen the will of the Father; that redemption and union with God is possible for humanity. All men will be tried for their iniquity and compelled to give an account of the lives they have been given to steward. Blessed are those who have found rest in the works of Christ. Who recognize their great insufficiency and have cast themselves before the feet of their savior. Only His righteousness and covering can save a man. Woe unto those who will stand before the Lord who dwells in unapproachable light on their merit to account for their sins. Woe unto the one who despises the gospel and rejects Jesus in this life. Has He not said, “So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.” - Matthew 10:32–33. God is renewing all things now as He transforms hearts by the power of the gospel. He is changing sinful values and distorted ideas that continue to destroy this world through the proclamation of His revelation. That men may live as He, the owner of our lives intended. All who respond accordingly will know the joys of communion with God in this life, and the one to come.

Blessed is the one who loves this world so much he would come back as beggar for one more morning on the skin. he will not ask for heaven, he will ask for sunlight. he will not ask for peace, he will ask for one more winter, one more name to bear. he kneels and says, bring me back, bring me back again. i am not finished here

This is like the Shroud of Turin for atheists

You need to be manic and insane and unrelenting but on a narrow vector of utility that no one cared enough to care for

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says seasons change. This one won’t overstay. Prepare for the next phase. Even stubborn stains fade with time. Your situation is not permanent. Relax.

The path is narrow and the bus is short

I use controlled chaos with strong emotions to conjure up magic and miracles in my life

For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Hebrews 12:3

I have developed the uncanny ability to reframe anything to work in my favor it’s the definition of magic

I'm immune to it by the Blood of Jesus.

my biggest flaw is going to the extreme to prove a point. i would sabotage my dignity to ensure i was right. it became a game of tactical warfare. a short term win but a journey of repentance for what was lost. for so long i've clawed for justification and there was none. father forgive me

The more you focus on the Cross the more you'll know about everything else.

A big reason why I’m doing so much output is because my heart is broken and every time I feel the sting in my chest I force myself to do something that progresses the vision

For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do Romans 7:19
