“All This Achievement And Accomplishment That You Focus On Is Fine, But Remember, The Most Important

“Do not expect God to answer your prayer your way. He will answer His ways. His ways are not our ways neither are His thoughts.”

@hertrueworth - He hears your cry, He sees your aching heart. You are not alone, He is with you and will complete that emptiness in your heart that you feel. Trust Him💗 // #hertrueworth #worthyisshe

When you realize that no matter how pretty you look on the outside it won’t help if your heart is ugly. Let God transform your heart :)

Looking back, makes you smart. Looking forward, makes you mature. Looking down, makes you wise. Looking UP, makes you strong.

My heart aches for the group I used to be apart of. To see so many deceived by sin, handed over to the desires of their flesh as explained in Romans 1:24-27

I want you to know that God can forgive your sins, can give you new life. Can change your desires, turn your whole life around!

I used to be attracted to women, I used to fornicate with women, I used to be in love with women.

God has given me new life through His Son; Jesus Christ.

Jesus came to die for our sins, to be an atonement for our sins.

There’s no forgiveness of sins without atonement of sins!

The best way I know how to explain this transaction is like so;

You and I fall short to the glory of God (Roland 3:23) we have sinned against God. And He is good, which means He is also just. When someone is full of justice, they must punish sin.

Yes, that means you and I have earned wages for our sins. And just like the judge in a court of law gives wages of a range, God gives wages for our sins, which is death.

You and I cannot do anything to change God’s mind on our own merit

“ for by works of the law no human being will be justified in His sight, since through the law comes comes knowledge of sin“ (Romans 3:20)

Our only hope of redemption, new life, forgiveness, ids only Jesus. (who is God incarnate)

John 3:3 says you cannot enter into the kingdom of Heaven unless you are born again.

Jesus died for our sins,

And to cement our eternity, He defeated death in His resurrection

What you need to do is repent of all your sins (repentance means to turn away from, to forsake, to leave that lifestyle)

And trust in Jesus as your Savior.

If anyone ever wants to further discuss this, please reach out to me. I will be praying for the lgbt community through this month, that you would come to have new life, salvation, Hope in a lost and dying world. Peace through our Lord Jesus Christ.

i have never felt as mature as when i finally understood (through therapy) and internalized (through emotional work) that you cannot connect and communicate with some people no matter how kind, compassionate, understanding, articulate, eloquent, or smart you are, and that sometimes a person not listening to you does not reflect on your communication skills or ability to connect or straight up intelligence. in a way, it’s letting go of the belief that you have the power to make people understand you. communication is a two-way street, and needs two willing participants. some people are just walls, and it has been unbelievably helpful for my mental and emotional health to let it slide and know that it does not affect me or my self worth. 

saw a post saying “dont beg men to love you” and thats absolutely true but i have an addition i dont want to add to the post and Derail. but dont beg ANYONE to love you. im serious. not just romantically. not parents, friends, family, and especially not significant others. if you find yourself having to beg for scraps of love its time to pack it up and move on. 

“Truth is, you are the light of the world. You are the joy of heaven. You are powerful, not helpless. You have infinite worth. Infinite. All you need to do is change the way you see. For those who have eyes to see, let them see.”

Say “even if” - My circumstances do not change God‘s goodness. Let’s trust in Him during the good and the bad 🙏
