"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."
In Christ alone, my hope is found
When we fall He gets us up, He bounds what is broken and pulls out our soul from the pits of Despair. Such a kind God He is. It was our fault we got into that pit! We followed sin, being deceived by what it offers, yet Jesus Christ offered a way out. First you repent then you believe in Him and He’ll get you out. Amen.
What if Jesus visited us today? Will He find us living the Way He wants or living our own way?
- 2 Corinthians 5:7
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit…” (John 15:5) The branch of a grapevine doesn’t have to strain to produce grapes . Just having the sap—which is the life blood of the tree—flowing through it, causes the branch to produce its fruit. But if the branch is detached, it’ll eventually die. The same holds true for every Christian who stays connected to Jesus. If we abide in Him, His life will flow through us and His Spirit will enable us to bear much fruit. We will truly be useful in His Kingdom. Will you draw near to Jesus and abide in Him?
-Matthew 7:7
My local coffee shop has this posted on their counter. It’s nice to see God in the most random places reaching people’s hearts.
God is a God of love and order.

If my children came up to me constantly worried about what we would eat or wear tomorrow, even though they know I had all the resources to take care of them, I would not be very happy with them because they apparently didn’t trust me. Imagine the kind of resources God has! How about all the universe! When we worry, we show that we don’t fully trust God to take care of us. Worry cannot change a thing. Choose to put your trust in God. Look to Him to take care of you. Don’t spend your energy trying to do everything in your strength. Instead, lean on God. Let Him take care of you and rest in His peace. We are anxious over food, clothing, and our life (Luke 12:22), but life is so much more than these (Luke 12:23). If God can take of the birds of the air aren’t we of much more value to God than them? (Luke 12:24)

Christian Men, Listen Up!
Psalm 37:7 “Rest in the Lord and wait patiently on Him”
Here we shall expose anime, video games, and all means of worldly media for they ensnare the heart with all sorts of lust that destroy the soul. Jesus came to set us free from not just our sins but also from the trends of this world which lead to death; that is a spiritual death, a void soul - one that lacks the peace and joy that comes from God.
Beloved, this is the life Christ wants us to have, one with Him, because in Him we shall find life and life more abundantly. We shall not find life nor joy neither peace in the things of this world. Whether it’s anime, video games, pornography or vain shows, they will not fill your soul. That God blank in your heart was meant to be filled with Jesus
He said: “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63)
Most certainly His words will fill you. He who fills his life with lifeless things will become lifeless. But he or she who fills their hearts with the power and word of Christ shall so find life.
May God bless you with this truth and may He fill your soul with life. I pray this in love for you reading in the name of Jesus Christ amen.
These I have loved
A great tall girl, full of blue
Inviting lips, sweet to the eye but never tasted
Glasses that were black but now are pink
A voice of the ocean, Like waves hitting the breakwater
Of hair so perfect, Aphrodite should blush
A figure akin to the sun setting on the horizon
A connection so deep, the ocean has nothing on it
The future that lights up my nighttime
A conversation of Apple's and taste
Two people so together- hot and cold water
The sound of soothing poetry
A great tall girl
Yes,
These I have loved
Memory does not count distance
Nor days or month's
Time illuminates memory
Memory is pain
So judge me not when I think of you
Memories turn my blood red
Turn it into ink
This ink is What speaks to you now
Bleeding is a slow dance
Slow dance between survival and death
If I told you that the medication for my condition
Is you
What would you do?
In my persona
Cracks
Through these
My lungs breath
I don't think you selfish for leaving me when I needed you
I don't think you're selfish for trying to preserve your sanity
You must really like broken things I concluded
Why break me
Your arms, anyone's arms
Can they mend porcelain
Can they mend me
