“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
Matthew 13:44 ESV
Today, I found out that this verse is talking about Jesus's reaction to the individual believer. Just one of us.
I completely 180-d with my aesthetic (peek the profile page change) but I like it and I'm notifying you so you have a better time remembering me.
Also, I am currently reading Lord of the Rings.
@EzekielSebentien they're definitely different, but I think I still love both but in different ways. Definitely legendary lol!
@_amazanian_ I'm glad you're getting to the books. It's quite an experience. Much more... "legendary" than the movies... (Maybe someone else should correct me on that term... Lol) God bless!
@Eternala is such an inspiration to me and an amazing reminder of Philippians 1:6. God will continue to perfect and complete his good work in us until the day of Christ Jesus.
@_amazanian_ woah. This really supprised and warmed my heart. Thank you so much. May God bless you
Thanks so much for the follow!
“Stay in the Psalms. They are in the Bible to give dry and barren human beings something to say to God, and to give them some restored sanity when, left to themselves, all they want to do is go back to bed under the covers, or go get drunk, or go kill themselves, because the pain of life is so great.”

Happy New Year everyone!
“And he is the one who, through the gentleness and merciful severity of his providence, humbles his church again and again, from without and from within, and in his humbling brings us to the fork in the road: Now, how will you respond to my humbling purposes in this trial? Will you humble yourself?
When the next humbling trial comes, will you bow up with pride, or bow down in humility? God has a particular promise for you in these moments. The God of all power will exalt the humble in his perfect timing.”

Please read the entire article for the full context. Responding to God's humbling of me has always been so difficult, and now I'm looking back in my life to see a pattern of oft-repeated severe trials before I truly humbly myself before God. David Mathis's article on Micah 6:8 has been so helpful in showing me the right way to go from here, and I hope it helps any other follower of the Lord Jesus too!
I feel like pride is very common
It's almost like the Fondation of most sins. Ourselves can be our biggest problem and often even I see myself exalting myself. It's a sneaky thing that comes with self righetiouness etc. Thank you
Changed my profile background! Just so no one forgets who I am ;)
Also, I unpublished Young, Dumb & Broke. It looks like I need to head in a different direction.
“Your death is not an end but a beginning. Not a wall, but a door. Not an exit, but an entrance.” From Gentle and Lowly, by Dane Ortlund.
Heaven is infinitely more than a not-hell. If hell will be terrifying and excruciatingly painful for all eternity, then heaven will be lovely and unspeakably wonderful for all eternity.
In just a moment, our lives on earth won't even exist. In a few generations, no one will remember us. Our marriages and travels and connections and careers will be utterly meaningless. We will be known by ourselves and God alone.
Where will be known makes all the difference for our souls.
I assure you, it won't be worth it to pursue your heart's desire in this world only to come up empty every single time, and then at the end of your life to get a glimpse of the One your heart truly desires – only to discover that you will never have him, for all eternity.
