just heard that a friend of an acquaintance of mine attempted suicide tonight. Unsuccessfully by the grace of God, but please pray for everyone involved.

In an age of artificial intelligence, we need spiritual intelligence💯✨
Look back at all the wins and answered prayers it was really God. It was never luck, it has always been God.
All I have is Christ
Satan is the Accuser. His work is to turn your eyes in on yourself and despair. The Spirit is the Comforter. His work is to turn your eyes to Jesus, the rest for our souls.
When Elijah was depressed and wanted to die. God didn't lecture him. He gave him food, water and rest. Sometimes, healing begins with something simple: eat, sleep and let God take care of the rest.
i love kissing so muchhhh ughhhh
I think for most of my life I’ve thought of “stability” too narrowly as a set of certain circumstances. Stability isn’t about the external things we worry about like houses, spouses and money. All those things can be taken from us or given to us at any moment. True stability is when the human heart so trusts in God that it can face any circumstance without fear. True stability is a kingdom in the human heart that cannot be shaken by the world.
True stability is what Paul says, “Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”—Philippians 4:11-13 ESV
Christianity does not agree with the optimistic thinkers who say, “We can fix things if we try hard enough.” Nor does it agree with the pessimists who see only a dystopian future. The message of Christianity is, instead, “Things really are this bad, and we can’t heal or save ourselves. Things really are this dark—nevertheless, there is hope.” The Christmas message is that “on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.” Notice that it doesn’t say from the world a light has sprung, but upon the world a light has dawned. It has come from outside. There is light outside of this world, and Jesus has brought that light to save us; indeed, he is the Light (John 8:12).
--Timothy Keller, Hidden Christmas: The Surprising Truth Behind the Birth of Christ
God will sustain you.
Even to your old age I will be the same, and even to your graying years I will bear you! I have done it, and I will carry you; and I will bear you and I will deliver you.
Isaiah 46:4
25 things I learned at 25.
Heartbreak really sucks, but it will teach you priceless lessons.
The best way to get over something is to feel it. Don't distract, don't try to intellectualize, we have to sit with all the hard feelings.
There is still time to make friends - the world doesn't end after you graduate college.
Make time to be still - this is one of the most important practices of Jesus and without it, we become restless, flustered, and irritable.
Pray unceasingly - this means in every breath, in every moment, God is always listening.
Pray about the small things, not just the big things. Because God is the God everything, not one thing is unimportant to Him.
It's okay if you are not experiencing things the same way others are - we are all different and there is no point in trying to make yourself feel the same way as other people do.
Sadness and heartbreak are not things that you get over in a couple weeks, or even a month. Be patient with the process of grief.
Heartbreak is a type of grief, grief of a life you had envisioned, a relationship you had enjoyed, a person that you had in your life.
People may not be in your life anymore, but there will always be pieces of them that stick with you.
God doesn't change - and that truth will ground you more than anything.
You deserve the same compassion and empathy that you show others.
Trust your intuition - if it doesn't feel good, if you feel like something is off, trust it. You know yourself best.
It's okay to struggle, stop putting this pressure upon yourself to be "perfect."
Putting yourself out there is so hard but it will be worth it in the end.
We must acknowledge the disappointments, the heartbreaks, how can you continue to run if you are bleeding?
God is close, even when you are doing anything you can to avoid facing Him, to avoid being honest with Him, God already knows your heart. And He still remains with you.
It's okay to make mistakes, it's okay to do things that you regret now, have compassion on the part of yourself that felt like that was the best option at the time.
Good people are still out there and you will know exactly who they are when you meet them. A good friend will never make you question your worth.
Make time for God, no matter what is going on in your life. The time we make for God will cause everything else to fall into place, but He must be the foundation.
Talk to God constantly - whether you are driving for 5 minutes, or whether you are stuck in traffic, God is found in every moment and He is the friend that we desperately need.
The waiting is painful but it's far better than short-term gratification.
Open up to people, be honest, be vulnerable, there is strength is letting our guard down with people who care about us.
Loneliness is so difficult, but the moment that we acknowledge it, it will become less heavy.
We need God so much, without Him, everything falls apart.
I’m so thankful I serve a God that allows me to vulnerable with Him. Thank you Jesus
If Jesus himself prayed with “loud cries and tears” at times, then we can certainly feel free and unashamed to pour out our souls to God.
