probably the most appropriate way to describe grace.
For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

how ridiculous is that even when we don’t understand, we still get to choose God?

one thing, Jesus.: comparison →
brief food for thought:
comparison creates envy where there should be no envy and is a denial of what is beautiful and God-given (for His purpose) within us. It rejects the good things we have because of the uniqueness of each person, measuring and saying “yours is not so good as his, mine is not…

i breathe you in, God, cause you are there all around me
I want our community to be one that actively recognizes Jesus’ presence together. It’s not a community who comes to bible study because the word is involved (of course, the word is important), but because JESUS himself is involved. I want us to actively point out who Jesus is and where He is in our lives. Stop addressing Jesus as third person, He’s here!!
We can’t base our relationship with Jesus on weekly bible studies, campus team. We need to base our relationship on communication, prayer. This is why we need community (and family)! Spiritual disciplines are meant to upkeep, and maintain our Spiritual health with Jesus. if you do QT’s for the sake of satisfying that 15 minutes in the morning, you’re not going to encounter Jesus fully, because all you’re expecting is QT’s. You need a basis of health, in order to upkeep your health.
Moreover, let’s start understanding spiritual health as one that’s defined by wellness through maintaining and upkeeping our relationship with Jesus, rather than only treating and addressing symptoms when we’re in lack of Jesus.

i choose to believe in Jesus, not because He promises things, but because He promises bigger things.
I choose to believe in the bigger God. He’s not only the God who redeems my life, but He’s the God who can redeem my family, my campus, the Public Health infrastructure of this society, the health injustices of this country, the health injustices of this world.
what a good night.

a new reality
there’s something discomforting about our reality. you see, there’s this thing called lies, that keeps overtaking our sense of identity, and moreover, our sense of authority. we originated from God, we’re one with Him, and therefore, we are made and we carry His thoughts. but recently, what i’ve been hearing is a lot of “not enough”s and “not for me”s. the truth is, it is for you. you are enough, you are more than enough, you are created to be something more. in essence, you already are something more.
I think Jesus’ reality is different from our reality. in the Kingdom, there is no room for lies, there is no room for “not enough”s and “not for me”s. He’s calling us to be a generation who looks for more; He’s looking for people who call out His reality and carry His truth among the lost. Right? As His children, we need to step (and live) in the reality that He created. The reality that we are made to live in is not one of brokenness, the cross declared a shift in reality, which is one that’s centered on the works of the cross, and not the pitfall of man. Is the act of settling among the reality of brokenness not as offensive of a sin than to disregard Christ’s death for you? Do we as sons and daughters, with direct lineage to Jesus, understand reality as one that already carries freedom and healing?
sin oppresses, but it does not win.
