One thing about God? When you hit a level of rock bottom where you don’t even want to be saved because you hate yourself too much, He overrides your self-hatred and forces His life back into your dead lungs. That radical rescue shatters me 😭😭😭
The most misguided thing ppl say is ‘social media isnt real life’. Yes it is. Ppl are on their phone 24/7. Theyre cancelling plans so they can look at their phone. Everyone in yr train carriage is scrolling their phone.Nobody knows whats real anymore and everybody is angry.
@barbarismcrit We're already living part of the whole "futurism" thing thanks to ai everything everywhere, self driving cars and technology just taking over in general, why would we want to see anymore?
Do not talk about discernment if you cannot recognise when someone needs compassion more than criticism and correction. There is a time to guide and a time to simply hold space for a person who is hurting. Wisdom knows the difference. And kindness knows it even faster.
You literally have to talk to your ego as if it’s a little child to soothe it. Most of the time it is just terrified. Give it love, give it comfort, give it understanding and compassion. This will integrate the terror, insecurity, loneliness (or whatever it is) back into love.
I saw a video of a woman cleaning her home that said something powerful: “I’m taking care of what God has already given me so He knows I’ll appreciate what’s coming next.” That really stuck with me. Sometimes the blessing isn’t about getting more… it’s about how well you take care of what you already have. Gratitude, stewardship, and appreciation open the door for even greater things. 💫
One of the problems with people not reading anymore is that the quality of overall storytelling is being reduced in everything. So many songs and their lyrics sound remedial now. Like they’re being written for children.
