When He [God] talks of their losing their selves, He means only abandoning the clamour of self-will; once they have done that, He really gives them back all their personality, and boasts (I am afraid, sincerely) that when they are wholly His, they will be more themselves than ever.

CS Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

(if you’ve never read this book, its a fictional yet incredibly informational book of letters between the Devil and a demon. they talk about how best to tempt humans and how to get them to stray from Jesus and its so so good and crazy.)

I'm reading this right now! Such a great read!

i honestly just need someone to come into my life that really genuinely cares about me and wants to sit and have long conversations about things that actually matter and wants to go on adventures late at night and wants to be there for me at my lowest points and celebrate with me at my highest points and just be the rock that keeps me going when life gets rough

His name’s Jesus.

I can't brag about my love of God because I fail Him daily, but I can brag about His love for me because it never ends. ❤️

I wonder if Jesus ever looked at his disciples when they were doubting and going astray, smiled, and thought to himself “they have no idea what they are about to do for my kingdom”.

And then I wonder if Jesus looks at me in my moments of sin and weakness, smiles, and thinks to himself “she has no idea what she is about to do for my kingdom”.

[northdakotajoy]

Wow.

[northdakotajoy]

Follow me!

I don't want to be that annoying girl, but I would love if some other Christian teenagers would follow me! I would follow back and we could encourage each other's faith lives.
