Truth is, we have difficulty trusting God because we are so used to being let down by people and we’re afraid He will let us down too. We must remove this fear from our lives, because it’s completely false. People are deeply flawed and deeply hurt, and they will always let us down. God never will. Jesus loves us and even though we are wretched and broken, and He lived a perfect life, Christ still died for us. What a Savior we have! He is true love, and we can trust Him with our whole heart because He is above and beyond anything we could ever ask or imagine.

ah, I get it now.

Complaining about a silent God with a closed Holy Bible, is like complaining about no text messages with a turned off phone.

you want to know a secret? God cares for the little things in our lives, even that crush, the attitude that person gives you, the friends you have, the patience your little sibling tests…everything

God, I really hope so. Please. I’m losing it

Can we just talk about Joseph? I don’t mean Jesus’ earthly father I mean Joseph; Jacob’s son, one of the tribes etc. He was SOLD by his BROTHERS.. betrayed. I can’t help but think of Christ when I read Joseph’s story. To think despite being sold by his brothers, becoming a slave, being accused a crime he did not do, thrown in jail for said crime, being forgotten etc. God raised him up to be just below Pharaoh. That is SO cool. Not only that but:

“But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭50:20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Despite what his brothers did he forgives them. He doesn’t hold it over them because he recognized that what they meant for evil God meant for good.

Honestly I LOVE this story and highly suggest reading it if you haven’t already, or even if you have. It starts from about Genesis 37 on until the end of Genesis.

I agree! It’s a lovely story and incredibly encouraging, a good reminder too 🙂

I swear, next time there will be swear words.

(btw, there are more forms of ‘mein’, but even my head would explode If I tried to explain it. I tried to keep the above as simple as possible.)

“straight people have never known what it’s like for their love to be illegal!” hey quick question have any of y’all ever heard of anti miscegenation laws in your life

the same month my dad turned five, his aunt was denied a marriage because she was brown and her fiancé was white. this was not that long ago! like, please do call out and talk about straight privilege. but as a queer person of color: i am begging y’all to do it w/o erasing the history of racism

my boyfriend and I sometimes struggle to be on the same page when it comes to comforting- often i just want to vent and don’t need advice, whereas validation confuses him and he wants a plan of action

to counter this, we’ve come up with a system where we ask: “do you want advice, empathy, both or neither?”

if it’s just advice, i know to go straight to action points and not spend time on fluffy words

if it’s just empathy, he knows i want to be reassured and comforted and that’s all

if it’s both, it’s time for advice that recognises how hard the situation is and is perhaps gentler in nature

if it’s neither, just a hug is really good

i recommend trying to use this in your lives! it makes sure you’re giving and getting what you need, and reduces the risk of resentment or similar
