To find God is truly the best gift this life could have ever given me. I remain amazed and humbled every time I think of the grace and love he has poured into my life. May any good in me be seen as a reflection of his goodness that he’s shown me.

It is challenging to follow God when you remain close to and surrounded by non-believers, sinners, and especially scoffers who ridicule and show disdain for God. Better to be separated from them, than let them cause you to be separated from God. “Drive out a scoffer, and strife will go out, and quarreling and abuse will cease.” - Proverbs 22:10

I have no anger, judgment, or resentment for any of the people I’ve loved. I regret no parts of my life, because even the bad parts brought me closer to God. I have, however, seen that the way I was living, even with my own good intentions, was wrong and contributed greatly to all the pain and emptiness I struggled with. I truly believe God is real, and sin is real, and that good and evil do exist as well and truth, and I believe that truth comes from God. It is because of my faith that I’m getting baptized and surrendering my life to Christ. ❤️

The Holy Spirit can do in one night what effort couldn't do in 10 years.

I’m not afraid of starting over anymore. I’m more afraid of ignoring God.

God is a righteous judge and the perfect teacher. To trust God is to trust the bible. Don’t let the world confuse you. This world rejected Jesus. It is offended by the truth and does everything it can to misrepresent the truth, and the moment you let their lies or their feelings matter to you more than following Christ, you’ve made an idol of them and placed them over God. We are warned to put no idols over God for this exact reason. They are not reliable, they do not lead to the truth. If your faith is in God and you believe he is who he says he is, there is nothing to fear in scripture.

"Clobber, clobber, clobber" Presbyterian pastor (PCUSA) says that 'I am the way, I am the truth and I am the life, no one comes to the Father except through me' is a CLOBBER text that can be dangerous and used to do harm and damage.

Everyone - Make sure that every single thing you believe is based solidly in the Bible. Make sure that every single thing you hear and read is filtered through the Bible. God's Word must be your ultimate authority, not your feelings, culture, or traditions.

The gospel is the only message that can bring an unbeliever's heart the change it needs. It's not about being a better person or trying harder next time. It's about being made completely new by the blood of Jesus.

Proof of life 🥰🥰

Knowing God personally is everything. I grew up listening to my Abuela always talking about Jesus like a best friend she talked to on the phone everyday. She would say things like “God knows me!” with so much esteem to convince me things would be ok. She loved to tell me stories of times she turned to God. She would tell me what she said to him, how she prayed, and how he took care of it “because God LOOOOVES me!” Through the Spanglish, I could understand what she was saying but I never actually understood feeling that way until recently. I’ve been on my journey with Christ, growing in my spirit for a year now. My path has been anything but straightforward and steady. I cannot stress enough how much this world does not want you to know God for yourself. For decades I blindly contributed to everything I was seeing and complaining was wrong with the world, imagining that because I wanted to do ‘good’ and I wanted to be a ‘good’ person, that I was, but I wasn’t -and I don’t mean that in a “I’m human” we are all flawed, kind of way. I mean I did not know how much I did not know what ‘good’ really was, and because of that, I wasn’t coming anywhere close to being it. What I knew was a selfish, self-determined, self-affirming idea of what good is, completely unaware of where that feeling to be good and do good comes from, let alone begin to understand what it was that kept working against it. Even now that I know God, Im sure I still don’t have a full grasp on just how much my own best intentions contributed to the chaos of this world that preys on us all, but believe me when I say I know the entire time I was lost, God was with me, protecting me just like my Abuela say he would. God has known me this entire time, and I needed to know him for myself to have that trust and feel that love the way I saw my Abuela did, and I pray that for every single person. I pray God reveal himself to you and you never let yourself or anything else in this world distract you from him.

Pray for the friends and family of Renee Good. Pray for the friends and family of Alex Pretti. Pray for the friends and family of the officers involved. Pray for the protestors. Pray for ICE. If we can't do this, it says a lot about our hearts.

Let me never stop thanking God, because that streaming space is actually demonic and I know I would still be stuck there today, miserable and lost, if it wasn't for him.

Despite being the person who has actually been wronged, I really don't find the constant focused hate directed at Destiny to be cathartic. I trusted and cared for this person a lot, anyone with eyes knows I did. I know I didn't deserve what happened to me, I know it was wrong, and I know I can't control what anyone says or does, but if I can have any influence on how you think about this please know the hate is not justice, and I hope you don't let anyone convince you there is any value or purpose in it.
