If the bible says it’s a sin then it’s still a sin today and forever. God’s word does not change. Stop changing the word of God to fit your comfort. Stop risking your salvation with an “I feel” spirit. Our feelings deceive us. Romans 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

I aint gonna articulate this right but I’ve noticed there’s this weird sub culture on tumblr where it’s frowned upon to say anything positive about your life. Like occasionally I see someone post something like “I love my job so much” and a few responses are like “wish I could find a job :/” or “must be nice to not have depression” and it’s really strange. A lot of people are pulling themselves out of dark places or finally figuring out how to be happy (no easy feat) and they don’t need you projecting your own demons on their moments of happiness they wanted to share.

“Maybe time didn’t heal wounds exactly, but it gave you a kind of armor, or a new perspective. A way to remember with a smile instead of a sob.”

How do you feel about this post? Has this been true in your experience? If so, how?

U need 2 hold the image u want of urself, in ur mind, so strongly that other ppl see it too. Everything u need is already inside of u. U know what u need 2 do. So look inside and stop seeking it outside

It’s a beautiful thing to be able to tell yourself “I don’t have to be strong right now because God is strong.”

God taught me this through tears, pain, arguments and sleepless nights. Crack open proverbs and you'll discover how to be kind and generous whilst still maintaining your character.

People will take you for a fool if you try to be nice to everyone. In this life you need to learn to put your foot down and be decisive about the things you won't tolerate in your life, regardless of who likes it or not. Trying to be a people pleaser will only leave you drained and taken advantage of. Once you uphold an image of someone of malliable character it's much easier for others to expect certain things from you without having in consideration your integrity and beliefs, to treat you any kind of way they desire and take advantage of your weak demeanor. Trying to people please is peasant behavior, you don't owe such treatment to anyone who doesn't deserve it, don't lower yourself to that. To hell what they think of you, they aren't paying your rent or bills.
