Existence
For me I always thought my life motto was “to love and be loved”.
But all this time. To be loved has already been done by Him. Now, I just need to love. Love like he has.
Today. I learned that scars may run deep and that the enemy may win many many battles in our hearts. But where do we focus our heart? Do we believe that such scars are too big of a problem for God to heal? Do we believe that he is not all powerful? Who are we to disrespect him in that sense?
We must trust and have faith. He is an angry and jealous God. But he also believes in our victory. Our happiness. He is a God that dances with us and cries with us. He is THE God who saved us by dying for us.
To be loved…
How do I fail to see this from time to time?
To love.

Loving like He has Loved
I find Christianity to be funny in the aspect that a lot of the problems are seemingly simple, but incredibly difficult. The answers are right in front of us but we don’t see it. For example. How do we love?
We strive to love like he has loved; with an open heart, mind, and unconditional positive regard. Is this impossible to do for everyone? Without a question, extremely difficult. Understanding each other to be made in the images of Himself though…we are each individually beautiful. See that image, burn it in your head, and just love. To love a stranger, an enemy even. He did all these things. He did not selectively chose those to bless. He loved all of us as His children and through that we are saved.
Not only others. But ourselves. See that we are made with purpose and with a will. His will. Guaranteed success.
Slowly getting there. Trying to understand this impossible love.

This is probably a bad idea but I opened the ask me thing.
nothing but bad timing.
The train’s coming…you have to think of what you have to do, what lies ahead. You worry, sweaty palms. You shake like the rails, nervous, anticipating, excited? What lies in store?
The train’s slowing down. Time’s almost up. You don’t know where it’s going. You have to trust it or you’re going to be stuck here for a while. Do you trust it? Yourself? Are you excited or are you scared?
The train’s stopped. The door is open. You can take a step forward and be on. Or you can stand there mulling over what you can do. It’s such a small step but it makes all the difference. Are you ready? To just go do.
The train’s left………are you on the train or are you still at the stop, wishing you got on.
