Christians.... it is so easy to want to be petty... it’s tempting I know haha
But we must rise above pettiness.
We need to rise above back-handedness.
We need to rise above passive aggressiveness.
Pursue communication, reconciliation, forgiveness, listening, finding resolution.
George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.
It’s Friday ... Peter is asleep. Judas has betrayed him. Mary is crying. Hope is lost, Death has won, Satan is laughing. Jesus is buried.
A soldier stands guard. A rock is rolled into place.
... But Sunday is coming !!!
i recently saw a quote that said “if your experience with christianity has left you with more guilt & less joy, then you found religion, not Jesus.
religion is about what you can do for God, Jesus is about what God did for you.” & this is something that everyone needs to hear
This is for anyone who feels far from God:
Even when you miss a day in your devo,
God Still Loves You.
Even when you lose your temper and feel shame,
God Still Loves You.
Even when you fall back into that sin,
God Still Loves You.
Nothing can separate you.
Believe that today
I don’t know what you’re going through, but Jesus wants to go through it with you. He’ll be by your side strengthening you even in the storm. He’s felt that anger. He’s cried those tears. He knows every pain & meets it with perfect peace. Every tear. Every prayer. He’s with you.
