Be passionate about the Lord Jesus. Be fervent in spirit. Celebrate one another's victories and build up each other. Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. If one part suffers everyone suffers with it. If it is honored so will everyone be honored. This world is charming with all of its shiny fun things but we cannot love this world. This world is a dying world headed straight for destruction along with everything in it. Since Christ suffered we will suffer too not because he doesn't care but because being a member of Christ means this world and the ruler of it hates you just like it hated Him. Christ did not come to take us out of the world. The world belongs to us. The world doesn't belong to the ruler of it currently and for that reason those in Christ suffer. There is a limit on what the ruler of this world can do. He can kill the body but not the soul. What has come onto you is nothing new that others have not gone through. We all have history. We all have a story. This is why community is so important, we can help each other bear the burdens and trials placed on us. Two is better than one and when two or more are gathered in Christ's name he is with them. Christ will never leave you. There is nothing that can separate you from his love. Nothing. Also remember Christ is seated at the right hand of his Father. He is honored and those in Christ whether they live or die will share in the honor in the new world. Live for the approval of God and not for the approval of man. By doing this, you set yourself up for a happy life filled with rewards from God whether you receive them here or the next life is up to him. But know you are blessed in Christ. He will care for you. You will face trials and tribulations here but take heart your creator has overcome the world. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom. Wisdom is supreme and with all you receive of it gain understanding. If any of you lack wisdom ask God and he will give it to you. Wisdom is better than gold and in its right hand is long life and in its left hand are riches and honor. Change your life today. Read the gospels and letters. Read them and obey them. Don't bombard yourself. Take it slow. One change is better than no change. And one change often leads to more change. Open your heart to God. Allow Jesus to work in you. Sure it might feel messy. You might cry. You might feel torn down. But Jesus is the potter and all he's doing is making you into a new vessel to hold what he wants to pour into you. Yes healing takes time and honestly God/Jesus they don't work inside of time. They are eternal. Learning, growing, changing it's something we are always gonna do. There's so much to learn. There's so much to experience outside of this shitty world. Please go to Jesus. Please come inside. He's waiting for you ready to talk. Ready to take your hand and walk you through all the good, bad, and ugly. He doesn't run away when you're messy. He stays. He will always be with you. He's your Rock. Your Defender. Your protection. Your best friend. He cares and he wants a relationship with you.
