Thank you for being an encourager to a people who are tired and losing hope. Thank you for caring about all of us who can’t do anything to pay you back. Your fight for your unseen fellow man may not feel at times to be worth while, but speaking as one of those unseen men, it has been uplifting for me, (It is also the mark of the child of God). God Bless. Please don’t stop fighting.
"Christ says 'keep away from the bible'"
Archbishop Jonathan Blake, the presiding Archbishop of the Open Episcopal Church, says that Jesus wants people to "put the bible down" because it's not "accurate" or "right" and is "rarely God's word" h/t @theholy_nope
“I felt ashamed. Ashamed of looking like a mortal -- of being a mortal."
"But how could you help that?"
"Don't you think the things people are most ashamed of are things they can't help?”
― C.S. Lewis, Till We Have Faces
“The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one's 'own,' or 'real' life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one's real life —the life God is sending one day by day.”
-C. S. Lewis
“I would rather be what God chose to make me than the most glorious creature that I could think of; for to have been born in God's thought, and then made by God is the dearest, grandest, and most precious thing in all thinking.”

During a spiritual backslide, I often avoid repentance because I have allowed myself to believe a ridiculous thought/feeling that before I go get right with God, I need to first get right with God.
