Real event (And real sayings I've seen online and been told)
(Under the cut is a note about the comic and a picture of the best dog <3)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I've attributed this event as a sign of God's unconditional love towards my transidentity for two reasons: the fact that this happened after I've been told horrendous insults online, and the fact that it's Willie, my parents' oldest dog, that conforted to me.
Willie is an old, grumpy, cranky Papillon dog who's basically a cat with an unshakable loyalty to my mother. He sits on her like cats, he prepares his bed (my mother's) like one, he meows at her at any given inconvenience... He never leaves my mother's side either, she's his chosen human. That evening, he was watching TV with my mother, as he does everyday at 18h00. That moment is sacred to him, he doesn't bulge even with treats, promises of walks, whining from the other animals... He only moves if my mother dictates so.
And yet, he came to me. Specifically. In the middle of the episode. He was half-asleep before then... And he came to me... no, He came to me, to comfort me in time of need. And chose specifically the animal in the house that is the most on the fence between expected roles of dogs and cats. An unconventional dog to comfort an unconventional man.
My Lord, your unconditional love is the ramp I use to get up and reach to your divine light 💙🩷🩵🙏🌟
Bonus: the dog-cat in question <3

one day God will call you to give something up. sometimes it's something you always wanted, but not something of God's will and of His plan for your life. when that day comes, it's going to hurt. it's going to hurt so bad. but I'm telling you: give it up. there is nothing out there as good as what God has planned for you.

"Jesus leaving the 99 to find 1 seems irrational and senseless... until that 1 is you"
I scrolled through this post tonight and it got me thinking... does it really make it any less irrational and senseless for Jesus to go out of his way for me? It doesn't. In fact, it just makes it even more confusing. Putting yourself in that position doesn't make sense of His actions, it just makes you put things into a whole new perspective. It doesn't suddenly make sense, it just makes you feel more surprised at how big His love can be. You know, for someone like me to be considered worthy feels a lot daunting. I feel like there aren't many people who are willing to leave everything behind to find me when I'm lost, and now you're telling me that despite me turning my back on Jesus and not taking his helping hand, he is still willing to try and win me be back again? to put me back to the path of life? It does not make sense at all and yet despite not understanding how to love this radically, it makes me want to let go of everything and hand myself over to Him. It makes me even more faithful, that even if I end up losing myself, there is a God that is willing to draw me back to Him, guiding me, comforting me, and loving me senselessly. It may not make sense at all but this is God's love for us. It does not need to make sense, you just have to feel it at least once, to see that a God is willing to leave the 99 to find you.

Hello everyone,
Recently, I've become very sick. I had a cold for a week that kept worsening day by day, and now I am unable to eat and am throwing up. I have been praying this sickness away and I would truly appreciate if some of you who are Believers would pray for me too. God be with you all.

Hey Doverstar. Fellow Christian here. :) What do you think about The Chosen? They just started releasing Season 4 eps in theaters this February in the United States. I really love this show. What about you? If you do...I think that would be groovy! If not...well. That would also be groovy too. ✌
Hi there! Woah, it's in theaters, that's crazy! Back in my day it was barely stream-able and we had to be in a specific person's living room to get it on the TV, how far we've come by matchbox twenty- I'm glad you asked, this will be long-ish!
I used to attend the church that the creator of the show had been attending at the time when we lived in IL (his name is Dallas, I think we had dinner with him? don't remember). That was before The Chosen was a thing. He had great ideas about what Christian media could be, but The Chosen in particular went downhill fast for me. I think it's an excellent show, but I also think that when you're using historical, real people in the content, you have to be very careful. Especially when it's biblical figures in history. Then you have to be insanely careful, and Dallas is not being as careful as one would hope. Because you don't want people who know nothing about Jesus to watch that show and have that expectation in their minds when they go to read the Bible. Jesus probably didn't talk like that, may not have looked like that, and may not have even smiled like that during His ministry here. But I've literally spoken with people who say things like if Jesus doesn't smile like Jonathan Roumie when they get to Heaven, "what's the point". That's dangerous. (And theologically the show is not sound.) I get taking creative liberties in order to make a television show more engaging for a modern audience, but not with the Bible. I get trying to make it easier to understand and follow for people who are just not brought up in the church and don't know the language. But I've decided for me, personally, not to continue watching The Chosen. For one thing, I don't want those actors/actresses in my head when I'm reading the Bible, and for another, I don't want to start being in a "fandom" for a show that's supposed to be portraying the events in the Bible. I don't want to start treating the Bible like it's fiction, like Peter's my blorbo (as the kids say), like it's just entertainment. It's not. It's real. It's all real, and I know me, and I know I have a tendency to over-romanticize the media I consume. I'm not going near that show with a 39-and-a-half foot pole anymore. It would be too easy to start thinking the wrong way about what I believe based on the way the show makes me feel. That, and I think the show is disrespectful and wrong. Great idea, good execution, went off the rails. And yeah, The Chosen is so good at making you feel things! I saw that first Season. I loved that first Season! Little ideas like having the Jesus-character laugh in bed while knowing exactly what the family of the lame man he cured is waking up to, literally able to see them rejoicing miles away? That's beautiful. When the Jesus-character cries with the woman at the well, and he tells her from now on it will all be about the heart, not about works? And she says "You promise?" And he cries and smiles and promises and she's so happy? That's beautiful. I cried too. And my favorite was the line when Mary says that before she met Jesus, "I was one way. And now I am completely different. And the thing that happened in between was Him." That's perfect. That's so good. That's what it's like, in three sentences. Excellent. Well done. Oh, and the music swelling at the end of each episode? Fantastic. Emotions everywhere. But like I said, I don't trust it. I got through about four episodes of Season 2 before I was like, okay, that's enough. This isn't good for me. Does that make sense? I could go into the discrepancies and how they often treat Jesus in the show as though He wasn't fully man and fully God (He was), and how they often make it seem like you can believe He was or He wasn't and it's all fine, when it's not all fine. But that would take a while! In a nutshell: I'm glad the creators had the right heart to start out with, and I'm pleased to see it proven that Christians can make excellent media, but not if it's like this, and I don't think the show should continue. If it does, I think they need to get their heads on straight and be super clear about the Truth, otherwise there's no point. I won't be watching it. Doesn't make you evil if you watch it! This is just what I think. Since you asked. Glad to hear from you! <3

seek Jesus
it truly is a privilege to know Jesus and have access to Him. if you have the urge to draw closer to God, do it. don’t overthink it. He is ready to receive you with open arms.
everything you already have been doing clearly isn’t working out and it never will.
only Jesus saves and fills that void that is within every human being.
and no—you cannot prepare yourself for God. you cannot say “when i am done doing this or living this lifestyle, i will draw closer” He is the one that WILL transform you as you draw closer. Jesus is the focus point. He loves you more than anything.

¹⁷ “You can throw us into the blazing furnace. The God we serve is able to save us from the furnace and your power. If He does this, it is good. ¹⁸ But even if God does not save us, we want you, our king, to know this: We will not serve your gods. We will not worship the gold statue you have set up.”
—‭‭Daniel 3:17-18
