Ephesians 3
It’s sad. It’s so sad that there are so many souls out there who don’t realize that God is reachable; they don’t realize just how close He is. They spend their entire lives worshiping Him and praying to Him as if He’s afar off. But God is an intimate God. He’s a close God𑁋 even as close as beside us, inside us. He’s that friend who sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24). It seems as if no one can really grasp the idea of God desiring to talk to us face-to-face as a man would to a friend: “And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend…” (Exodus 33:11). 
We don’t need a pastor or a priest to speak to God on our behalf. Jesus is our High Priest, and because He dwells in us, we can go directly to God ourselves in prayer with confidence. When the veil was torn, we received complete access to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. We don’t have to pray long, eloquent, and repetitious prayers in order to be heard by God. The Bible says that the heathens pray using vain repetitions because they think that they’ll be heard for their much speaking (Matthew 6:7).  We can pray to God and speak to Him like He’s a friend and be completely honest about our heart, our struggles, and our sin, believing that He hears us and responds. 
God is not a Sunday service God. He desires to meet with us in our homes, at our jobs, as we run errands, and go through our day-to-day lives. He desires to be with us Monday through Saturday and not just when we’re sitting in the pews. He’s so much bigger than that, greater than that. And my prayer today is that Christ would dwell in the hearts of many by faith; that many would be rooted and grounded in love; that many would be able to comprehend the breadth, the length, the depth, and the height, and to know the love of Christ, which surpasses knowledge; and that many would be filled with the fullness of God.
Ephesians chapter 3

I had this dream last night, well I call it a dream, it seemed like I was awake, but yet asleep. The setting of it looked like a page in a colorful storybook but it was all taking place on one page. I was sitting on what looked like the side of a road. I remember feeling zero care there. It was so real. I was sitting on very pretty green grass and everything around me was so colorful, but yet I never knew what I was looking at…then suddenly the Lord was there. It was as if He was walking by, but I didn’t see Him till He was on the page that I was on., but yet I never actually seen Him as to describe Him, I was just aware that it was Him. Then He stretched out His hand to Me and lifted me up and we begin to walk together. I remember feeling so much love when His hand was reaching for me. At that point I was aware that my brother was somewhere there, though I never seen him. As we walked, I felt such overwhelming peace ..I didn’t have a care in the world. I was so light and so free. He never actually said anything to me, though all I could say at that point was in questions, “you mean I don’t have to worry about this? and I don’t have to worry about this? and I don’t have to worry about this?” I was never saying or even aware of what the worry was, He would just say “nope” to each of them in such a happy, light, joyful tone. I then begin running over to that particular worry and saying “you don’t have to worry about it! you don’t have to worry about it! you don’t have to worry about it!” Then the last thing the Lord said to me was “I’m working My word in you!”
Thank you Lord for loving me enough to remind me of Your word concerning worrying over the things in life that are dear to me. Thank you for this beautiful encounter with Jesus and Heaven. Thank you for working Your word into my life. ❤️

bless this iteration of Percy Jackson for genuinely believing, for at least three seconds, that he is the second coming of Christ

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

Finding the Meaning by Tara Randel
When I was a kid, our house was always decorated for Easter. Ceramic or stuffed chicks, bunnies, or colorful eggs. There were baskets filled with candy and goodies. Hidden egg hunts. Fingers dyed different colors after coloring hard boiled eggs. I got a new dress with matching shoes. We had a big dinner with lots of relatives invited. All the children were excited, running around on a sugar…

Not your typical love story...
Tumblr media
I believe Joseph’s story goes beyond the surface of dealing with a family that wants nothing to do with you, a family that is envious of you. I think his story has much more to offer than just a portrait of betrayal. Look beneath the surface and you’ll find that being the black sheep of the herd is just a portion of the story and not the story itself.
I believe the story of Joseph’s life truly is a lesson of how to love. His story teaches us to love those who have wronged us and to do good to others despite how they’ve treated us. His story is about trusting, believing, and seeing that God has a greater purpose behind the trauma and a plan to use the hurt, pain, unfair treatment, and rejection for the good of not only yourself, but for the good of your accusers, your enemies, and your naysayers.
Joseph’s life is an actual embodiment of Jesus’s words, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust [Matthew 5:44-45].”
May we learn to truly love one another, not according to our own personal beliefs, definitions, or experiences, but according to and by the love of a loving God.

Staying Loving in a World Where Hate Wins Elections
Daily writing promptWhat are your biggest challenges?View all responses As 2024 enters, I am already dreading the election commercials and the ugliness of politics in an election year. Since 2020, it seems that the United States has been the epicenter of Hate, as state representatives redraw voting maps that dilute or reduce the power of one vote, one voice. I have seen the rights of women and…

No matter how deep your in, God will go deeper! He’s NOT going to let you drown!! There is no limit to the depth of His Love for you He will save deliver and heal you. The waters know Him they know His Voice He is the All Consuming Fire that consumes all other fires, He is The Living Water that swallows up all other waters and this Holy One is with us.
When you go through deep waters,
I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty,
you will not drown.
When you walk through the fire of oppression,
you will not be burned up
the flames will not consume you.
3 For I am the Lord, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
Is43:2
