Asanteman was built on the foundation of unity. Let us therefore remain united in all that we do, because arrogance has no place in our collective progress
—Asantehene
Jesus ate with sinners. He also told sinners to repent. Modern Christianity loves mentioning the first sentence and gets strangely uncomfortable and hostile with the second.
The REALEST people are highly selective. They don’t act fake. They give their purest energy, the realest version of themselves. But once they see the slightest sign of negativity, jealousy, competitiveness, or wickedness, their energy shifts. They walk away and remove access.
Grace should never make us take sin less seriously.
Jesus didn’t die so we could comfortably continue in the very thing He came to save us from.
We will never be perfect in this life, but we should have a real desire to obey God and turn away from sin.
People hiding their hatred will never give you the courtesy of a confession, which is why their micro-reactions will always expose what their mouth refuses to say.
Authentic people don’t mind being disliked because they continue to stand in their authenticity regardless of other people’s opinions. Being liked for the version of you that you created in order to be liked will take a toll on you. Authenticity requires no performance.
