Sometimes Christians make you feel like God is just obligated to love you and He only tolerates you, and while God does absolutely hate sin, He doesn’t love you because He has to. He designed you. He likes you. He wanted you. He doesn’t just loves you in a “God loves the whole world so He has to love me too” sense. It’s personal to Him.
He only loves those who love Him. Would you love someone who continues to hate you
God does.
Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
God’s love is not dependent on us in any way. God is love.
We all need to stop over thinking God’s love, He loves us wholly, personally, and despite our faults. He doesn’t need a reason for this, do we always have a reason for loving what we love? He is who He says He is, we are who we are. He loves us anyways. Except it, love it, love Him. He is deserving of love, except that. Why are we so insistent on denying that love?
so you dated the wrong person and learned a hard lesson. you chose the wrong major and had to start over again. you cherished a friend who backstabbed you. it sucks, but it’s also going to work out. that’s life; you learn, hurt, love, cry, laugh, and keep going. you experience setbacks and you grow and it’s all okay.
Who knows why God allows heartbreak, but the answer must be important enough because God allows His heart to break too.
Ann Voskamp, The Broken Way
Honestly? I mess up daily. I’ve failed God more times than I can count. But in spite of everything, all my shortcomings and every misstep, He’s never given up on me. Not once. God sees the darkest parts of our hearts and He loves us still. Even when we stumble and fall, He picks us up, dusts us off, and pursues us to the end. He’s making us into who we were always meant to be and that gives me so much hope.
a fools guide to not wanting to die anymore
by me, a fool who doesnt wanna die anymore
- never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.
- find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.
- talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore
- picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else
- if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.
These pages have been going around a lot lately. It;s from a story I wrote for Wonder Woman’s 75th Anniversary Special, and I am reblogging to make sure that the artist/co-creator, Colleen Doran, gets proper credit for making Star-Blossom so adorable! 🙂
