We all have our doubts, insecurities, and ways that we have failed the Lord. Our sin is as part of our nature as it is something to grieve over. Everyday we constantly commit actions and think thoughts that are evil in the eyes of the Lord. This is why the sacrifice of Jesus is so integral to the faith, as it demonstrates the sheer love and mercy of the Father towards this lost world. But what is also worth nothing is how Jesus chose to live during His time on earth.

During His earthly ministry, Jesus wasn’t some untouchable king in a palace, or a royal noble teaching from a place of honor. Rather, He was a poor carpenter, who had almost nothing to His name. He walked the streets of the poor and outcasts, and dined with sinners. He had an entirely backwards view of the social hierarchy of the time.

This way of living speaks volumes about the character of Jesus. He was not repulsed by the sins of those He came across. Rather, He met those around Him right where they were, and guided them towards the light and forgiveness of the Father. Jesus wasn’t afraid of the demonic power of Legion, but saved him by caring out the demons within him. Jesus wasn’t embarrassed to call Matthew as disciple, but redeemed him from his old way of life.

These stories are not for you to know the character of Jesus, but to see yourself in them as well. We are all the tax collectors, demon possessed, prostitutes of the Biblical story. We are all estranged from God because of our sin. But the Gospel accounts of the Lord show us that Jesus is not afraid of our sin, nor is He repulsed or embarrassed by us. Rather, He meets us right where we are, ready to forgive us our sins and guide us towards the light. If you’re feeling estranged from the Father, just know that Jesus is ready to meet you right where you are, and set you free from the bondage of your sins. The same question He asked to those of His day is the one He asks to you, “Are you willing to be healed?”

God bless, Jesus loves you ✝️❤️

About ten years ago I decided that the next step I needed to take in my life was to accept and explore what it meant to be a failure and to have failed. This infuriated almost everybody in my life and clearly terrified a lot of people. People do not want you to accept failure. They dont want you to like... Sit with and think about it and pick it up and turn it arpund in your hands and really examine it. They want you to keep throwing yourself against the impossible walls until your body explodes! They do not want you to say "alright then, I've failed. What does that mean for me? Im still here. What does the life of someone who has failed look like?"

This makes people very angry and panicky.

My mental health improved in ways it had not in the previous DECADE once I stopped. And. Sat. With failure. And thought about what my failure ... Was. And looked at the structures that produced it and examined them critically.

It is so taboo to fail and admit it openly and talk about it. It is so taboo to talk about or think about failure in an accepting way rather than hiding it shamefully until you experience a degree of success in some area which allows you to present the past failure as "a stepping stone" to your current situation. Fuck that. We are put in positions of guaranteed failure by society every day and then punished and shamed for it. Lets fucking talk about failure

This is what I needed to hear right now.

As Adam Savage says, “Failure is always an option”.
