ATTENTION
I'm not religious, but I believe in the power of humanity. Of kindness. If anyone can please help my friend @encephalitisfighter, they need help. Anything you can do is appreciated, reblogging and donating to their payp*l. Their sister requires medical attention and medicine that they can't afford. Please, whether you believe in a God or the power of human kindness, you know that no one deserves this, this can't continue. Thank you for your time.
@puff-hugs @mother-to-every2-0 (not holding you at gunpoint to donate or smthg, just getting your attention bc you guys often reblog my post)

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we boast in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also boast in our afflictions, knowing that affliction brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not put to shame, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man, though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
— Romans 5:1-11

“God has already arranged a comeback for every setback,a vindication for every wrong, a new beginning for every disappointment.” —Joel Osteen
This is a beautiful quote by Joel Osteen. It resonates with me because I know it to be true. I've been a Christian for a very long time and I've seen this truth over and over again.
There will be many setbacks, disappointments and dramas in our life's journey. People will wrong you, but God never will. In the midst of everything, God is faithful. Of that I am 100% sure, because I've lived it. God is faithful.
Friend, I don't know where you are right now, but whenever you need it: God has already arranged a comeback for every setback, a vindication for every wrong and a new beginning for every disappointment.
Glory, praise and honor to our good, faithful and loving God. Amen! 🙌

“Those… who through faith in Christ have been called to the sonship of God, have put off the inferiority of their own nature. Radiant with the grace of Him who is honoring them, as if dressed in brilliant white clothing, they advance to a status that transcends nature. For they are no longer called children of the flesh but rather offspring of God by adoption (Rom. 8:14-15; 9:8).”
~St. Cyril of Jerusalem
(Art: The Apparition, by James Tissot)

This video made me cry. Because it shows me just how I’m not even close to coming to Heaven. I believe in Jesus, I believe in God, but my actions in life have left me lukewarm and I fall short of his glory.
Dear Lord, if you can hear me now, if you…know me. I’m begging you, please…help me.

The grafting of the Gentiles
Romans 11:11-24 I ask, then, have they stumbled in order to fall? Absolutely not! On the contrary, by their stumbling, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous. Now if their stumbling brings riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full number bring!
Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. In view of the fact that I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, if I can somehow make my own people jealous and save some of them. For if their rejection brings reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? Now if the firstfruits offered up are holy, so is the whole batch. And if the root is holy, so are the branches.
Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you, though a wild olive branch, were grafted in among them and have come to share in the rich root of the cultivated olive tree, do not brag that you are better than those branches. But if you do brag—you do not sustain the root, but the root sustains you. Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” True enough; they were broken off by unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you either. Therefore, consider God’s kindness and severity: severity toward those who have fallen but God’s kindness toward you—if you remain in His kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. And even they, if they do not remain in unbelief, will be grafted in, because God has the power to graft them in again. For if you were cut off from your native wild olive and against nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these—the natural branches—be grafted into their own olive tree?
As Gentiles, we did not replace Israel but we were grafted in. Israel’s stumbling was our gain.
Paul also gives us, the Gentiles, a stern warning. Though some of Israel's branches "were broken off" so we could be "grafted in among them" that we may "share in the rich root," we must "not be arrogant, but be afraid" because "if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you either." Remember John 15:6 in which the Lord says: "If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown away like a branch and dries up; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned." Anyone who does not abide in Christ stands already condemned (John 3:18).
All are under the same condition for salvation now: "repent and believe in the gospel" (Mark 1:15). In the old times, sins were overlooked with various types of sin offerings (Hebrews 10:4) but those times are now over. Acts 17:31 says God "overlooked the times of ignorance" and "God is now proclaiming to mankind that all people everywhere are to repent." Only in Christ—not our standing as those who were grafted in, or Israel itself (Matthew 3:9)—can save us. Christ, and Christ alone, is the One who saves us from the Father's wrath (Romans 5:9).
Some believe we shouldn't evangelize the Jewish people, but Paul makes it clear that only by their belief in Christ they too can be "graft them in again." As Matthew Henry wrote, "The conversion of a soul is the receiving of that soul, so the conversion of a nation. They shall be received into favour, into the church, into the love of Christ, whose arms are stretched out for the receiving of all those that will come to him. And this will be as life from the dead—so strange and surprising, and yet withal so welcome and acceptable. The conversion of the Jews will bring great joy to the church."
Christ is the root of all believers. There is “neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28). Abide in Him (John 15:4-10).

As I grow older, I can only say that I am more and more convinced that one great secret of Christian peace is to keep our eyes steadily fixed on the second coming of Christ. JC Ryle.
