#overcome evil with good

[jgandme]

It's so easy for us to fall into evilness and give into our sinful nature. When someone does something that you don't like and it upsets or frustrates you, you sometimes want them to feel the way they made you feel. It should go without saying that two wrongs don't make a right. If we are truly walking in the spirit and following Jesus we can't seek out ways to harm one another, because you will reap what you sow. Yes, that includes the person who set out to harm you or make you upset or frustrated.

The Dark Night of the Soul...

I was thinking about the expression, ‘the dark night of the soul’ and what that means in terms of living your life when facing serious challenges and difficulties. Surprisingly, the expression cannot be found in the Bible but was attributed to a spiritual philosopher named John of the Cross who penned a poem by the same name. It is meant to describe a feeling of lack of purpose, the absence of…

Today, I would like to remind you to forgive others, just like we were taught by God. Here are some scriptures about forgiveness, not holding grudges and not seeking revenge.

God uplifts those who are mocked and made fun of. God will take care of your situation, so leave it in His hands. Talk to Him and tell Him how you're feeling about what you're going through, and put your trust in Him. He will take care of it. Jesus said that if we ask, it will be given to us (Matthew 7:7). Continue asking God for His help. You'll see, He will take care of it. He will guide you, give you peace, strength, love and joy.

Remember to not seek revenge. Keep in mind that you're not supposed to be the judge. Only God can judge you and other people. Don't try to take everything in your hands, for God is in control. Leave your burdens in His Hands and trust Him. Ask Him to help you forgive others, for it's very hard to do it alone. Only God can give you the strength to free you from it, so keep on praying and don't get discouraged.

Also, I wanted to remind you to treat other people like you would like to be treated (Matthew 7:12). Don't think of people that mock you and make fun of you as enemies, and don't treat them in a bad way. Instead, keep on sharing your love with others and offer them a helping hand when they need it.

“Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you.” (Colossians 3:13)

“Then Peter came to Jesus and asked: ‘Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?’ Jesus answered: ‘I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.’ ” (Matthew 18:21-22)

“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don't forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” (Matthew 6:14-15)

“Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.” (Romans 12:14)

“Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: ‘It is Mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord. On the contrary: ‘If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.’ ” (Romans 12:17-21)

“Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.” (Psalm 37:8)

On Romans 13: Submission & Government

Romans thirteen is inevitably the first passage that Christian peacemakers need to contend with. Often it’s used as grounds to prove that Christians can set aside the teachings of Jesus in service of their country. But I believe Christians, having been heavily influenced by Augustine and his subsequent theologians, have made catastrophic errors in interpreting Paul’s writings by disconnecting…

 Mercy Me! Bring on the Light!

It’s my annual rant time! That expletive isn’t about the Christian vocal group, Mercy Me! It’s about the ghosts, goblins, zombies, witches, and other Halloween paraphernalia that “haunts” us at retail stores, homes and Halloween parties this time of year. Wait! Before you Halloween enthusiasts stop reading this blog, please know I’m not judging anyone who celebrates Halloween! I know what Jesus…

I love the idea of Hiccup being plagued with guilt whenever he's not able to bond with a dragon or has to fight one (despite it often being self defense he has no choice in). Like, the whole thing with the skrill probably weighed on him for years until they caught it again and he chose to release it.

#cant exactly blame him for the skrill #it was a hostile dragon he couldn't let dagur have it it was the only solution he saw at the time #he was just a kid then too #but whenever he has to fight a 'bad dragon' he must feel so guilty #like he knows dragons are like humans in the sense they have equal capacity for good and evil #and are sometimes even intelligent enough to be aware of it #but whenever he has to fight one (possibly even kill it) he probably thinks to himself 'doesn't this make me no better than the hunters?' #logically he knows its different but its always hard to separate stuff like that to overcome guilt #anyways yeah ty for attending my hc ramble if you actually read the tags ily #httyd #httyd rtte #rtte #hiccup haddock #httyd headcanon #httyd dob #hiccup headcanon #how to train your dragon headcanon #moth.txt #httyd brainrot #httyd headcanons

dear gods i adore horror tbh but i am way too sensitive to it

#⋯ ꒰ა starry thoughts ໒꒱ *·˚ #idk how to describe 'sensitive' rn i'm dying in the head i should be asleep but Man!!!!! #i search up tons of horror stuff for funsies. movies uhh creepypastas stories real life events etc. fun! #BUT it freaks me out wayyy too much. bcs i really don't deal well w Those feelings of paranoia. #my imagination too good i was scared at night going to sleep bcs i'd imagine what to do if an intruder came in from the bedroom door #or bathroom door and think of how i'd escape Death......... #Did Not Help my area before was kinda yk. chillax. chillax meaning grassy tree-sy backyard overgrown trees #old-ish in a filipino chill neighborhood that isn't very fancy ?????? idk. #and the fact one time my dad almost died and someone standing close to him Did die so. haha. traumatized from that. #I WASN'T THERE..... but i rmbr my dad coming home and the news absolutely terrified me. anyway! #wow... rambling on tumblr at 3 and a half am... Nostalgic. #anyway yeah i love love love horror stuff but i am !!! so bad w them !!! like jesus christ i adore resident evil and bloodborne #is my whole bloodline. or something. but i can't even watch my twin kill 1 zombie in a re game Demo (she can't do it either) #and i can only make it to killing the first monster in bloodborne and explore a tiny bit where there are still no enemies. god. #AAAGGGGHHHhhhh ... and the first point of horror in omori then i stop playing for months...... even tho i rlly wna play more :(( #2024 ........ cmon... i will try to overcome my fears more. #i've improved somewhat at least! ...from when i was younger. like. man. i could never stay in night-time in games ever. #ffxv? nah i always have to travel at morning. only when i got strong enough that daemons were nothing to me did i stop #getting scared. ouuughhh... and i always try to be stealthy in games........... for many reasons ofc but 1. Scared #okay i shut up now. apollo rambles of tonight: done and over!

i heard someone mention that if you play the dark urge and you try to resist, the game will give harder and harder checks against you that you have to pass in order to keep resisting

and like. i think that’s suuuuuch a cool idea but more than anything i hope that if you go mean from the outset there are moments where you don’t GET the chance to resist the urge as compared to a resist playthru

i think if you really indulge and give in to every urge it should lock u into some sort of route after a certain point where the option to resist is just replaced with a different, awful alternative i.e. hacking off a leg instead of an arm

it would probably make a lot of people really mad but iiiiiii would love it. theres not a lot of narrative weight to “youve been literally awful for all of act 1 and 2 buuut we’re still giving u the chance to resist ur urges. if you want” bc then its like. what youve done didnt matter.  and then it’s no longer a real narrative bc the game is giving in to the player’s desires instead of the character’s desires

#.txt #bg3 #bg3 spoilers #i mean its dif obv if there's a moment later in a dark urge playthru where u can seek redemption right #but im talking like #in the absence of that scenario #it would be so stupid if there was a scene in a durge playthru where u can kill an npc or a companion late-game #and the choices ARENT different depending on your actions. if uve gone full murderhobo ur durge should kill them outright #with no player intervention #(well excluding cause of death i suppose) #but if ur durge has done their best to resist the urge every single time #then i DO think u should get that diceroll and try to be good #like uhh whats that one quote #what's better - to be born good or to overcome great evil to become good #or whatever #i think a resist path could be the epitome of that quote #but if u havent been overcoming any evil. why should u get to be good bc theres a decision that you as the player don't like #anyway. 🚶‍♂️

why did my boromir post get notes i'm scared

#my roommate requested Boromir Tags Rant in the replies of that post so i suppose i will put that here #BASICALLY it all boils down (in my brain) to people hating this dude for like. getting mind controlled. like it was NOT HIS FAULT‼️ #local man tries to take and use an object that specifically influences people to want to take and use it; mord at 5 #like ????? #thats the whole POINT of the ring that's the whole reason FRODO had to carry it. he was one of the few people who was super resistant to th #thrall and influence of it #boromir is Just Some Guy (i mean he's like royalty sorta-kinda or whatever but he's just human he doesnt have any special Ring Resistance) #it's NATURAL that he would be tempted #like we SAW what it did to bilbo. we saw him being possessive of it and using it more than he should etc. but when it's bilbo then #apparently people suddenly gain thinking skills and realize that he was being influenced by an outside force #but when it's boromir suddenly its a moral failing???? america explain #plus also like. he was overcome for all of 2 minutes. and as soon as he realized what happened he CRIED bc he was so disgusted w his action #NOT TO MENTION SACRIFICING HIS LIFE FOR MERRY AND PIPPIN #NOT TO MENTION THAT EVEN WHILE INFLUENCED BY EVIL RING 5000 HE STILL ONLY EVER WANTED TO USE THE POWER FOR THE GOOD OF HIS PEOPLE #NOT TO MENTION [gestures at everything to do with faramir] #like. think for 4 seconds. use your brain. would an evil man cry after realizing he was influenced into doing something bad #would an selfish evil man sacrifice his life to save 2 funny hobbits #anyway i like him #also from like an out-of-universe perspective boromir trying to take the ring shows the power of the ring. it shows that it was able to #overcome even this Good Guy Character. you are not supposed to read/see that scene and take away from it ''boromir is bad'' #you are supposed to take away from it ''wow the ring is SO POWERFUL that it could even influence such a good guy as boromir'' #THATS MY OPINION ANYWAY #OH ALSO WE SAW FRODO GET INFLUENCED BY IT. ngl i forgot that happened for a minute. but EVEN FRODO caved for a bit #theres a reason why boromir's death is framed as a tragedy. it's not a bad guy getting what he deserved #it's a good man who will be missed and who died too soon #do you Really think aragorn would have kissed his forehead if he was evil. come on. #AND LIKE PIPPIN SWEARING FEALTY TO DENETHOR OVER IT??? that's a whole other can of worms but AUGH. pippin.......... #Absolutely Agonizing. #can't be bothered to fix the grammar mistakes in this sowwy #my post

[dramarants]

ah they just had the fiancee cheat with arguably the slimiest character in the show to try and balance out the leads finally kissing, all of a sudden spells aren't real and the curse is entirely forgotten they're solving everything with lazy ass writing okay

#don't get me wrong - shinyu trying to leave hongjo alone while desperately yearning being protective and playfully possessive/jealous #only to kiss her when he's so overcome with accepting his (and realizing her) truth SHOULD be delicious #and yet... once my bi heart looks past the chemistry/visuals... 😐 #destined with you #also implicating hongjo as stealing 2nd fl's man twice for so long and having her slapped - make it make sense pls #like yes she's lonely immature and being wooed made her feel good inside but she never encouraged shinyu's behavior #hasn't even figured out she doesn't like jae kyung or whatever anymore for herself #technically shinyu's feelings aren't her responsibility esp w/o magic but the show's premise rn makes her the 'other woman' to blame #we're in the middle of things unravelling but i s2g if she doesn't have agency or a modicum or self respect/honesty in the next eps.. 🤦🏾‍♀️ #but going back to the post - the show could have justified shinyu's breakup with the fact that he wasn't invested from the beginning #or that 2nd fl is a two faced bully and show that forcing relationships bc of status/attraction/history/family pressure ends poorly #but instead it's taking a female character who would be justifiably upset and vilifying her so that her pain seems deserved #she's already unlikable and pitiful (there's like only two women in this entire show portrayed positively) but no #let's make her as 2d & evil as possible to uplift hongjo instead of putting in work to develop the lead/story & appeal to the audience #writers prove me wrong challenge

basically vin's morality is "you have to play with your cat until he's exhausted or he WILL make his own fun and it WILL be destroying your furniture"

#vin isn't outright evil and as long as he's entertained he's perfectly harmless #but there is nothing more dangerous than a bored demon #also by virtue of watching and eating dreams he has started to think of humans as like blorbo from his shows #those are his favorite nightly programs! #but that also means he's like #ahh i can't wait to see blorbo from my shows experience catastrophic emotional turmoil because we love to see them overcome struggles #so if he's looking for entertainment he MIGHT cause problems on purpose just because #he wants to watch someone struggle with and overcome those problems #he doesn't take JOY in suffering he just loves a good narrative arc and character growth #and unfortunately there's little difference to him between characters and humans #especially in the realm of dreams #bc there he gets to watch people like die or endure horrors beyond the possibilities of reality #but he also knows they will wake up and be Fine so he's extra desensitized to nightmare horror #oh this is a serious trauma you're processing? #no this is his favorite psychological horror movie #my ocs #my oc #headcanons #vin #vinegyaru
