just a girl putting on her armor

Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:11-12

A dramatic Shakespearean response to every situation

When something bad happens: True is it that we have seen better days.
When something REALLY...

“Faith is not a leap in the dark; it’s the exact opposite. It’s a commitment based on evidence… It is irrational to reduce all faith to blind faith...”

Quote via apologeticsnstuff

How priceless is your unfailing love!
Both high and low among men
find refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house;
you give them drink from your river of delights.
For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light.

Psalm 36:7-9 (NIV)

The Gospel is this: we are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.

Timothy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God (via danislinus)

You are not hopeless

Are you sometimes overwhelmed with feelings of hopelessness?

What is the point of it all? I am a bad person? I am unlovable? I am not forgivable?

Turn to the Lord, He is our saviour. He knows how hopeless and full of sin we were and thats why he sacraficed His beloved son Jesus for us.

There IS a point to it all, maybe some days we can’t see it…. but we are not God, God sees it…. Gods wisdom is far greater than anything our earthly minds could ever comprehend!

Please don’t right off God/Jesus/Christianity as uncool, or of no help to you…… GOD LOVES YOU, this is not just a meaningless ‘catch phrase’ that Christians use…it is the TRUTH!!

It doesn’t matter how terrible the things are that you have done, you are NOT unforgivable!!

Don’t be hopeless….. there IS hope. Jesus is the answer.

If you have doubts about that… find an answer to your doubts… don’t remain idle..

Something that has really helped me is listening to podcasts…. and the One that I like the best is Timothy Keller… he has answered many questions i have had…. but there are many others to chose from if you don’t like TK…. John Piper, Mosaic, William Lane Craig etc (i am not an expert on all that is available)

Research, ask questions, pray, do whatever!!!!

Please realise you are not hopeless, start trying to find out about Jesus TODAY!

I am not a teacher, I am not a pastor, I don’t have all the answers, and I don’t know a huge amount about anything.

I used to have lots of doubts, lots of sin, and lots of questions.

But I did find the answer and I know that there is hope…. and that Jesus is the son of God and that He is my saviour, and he wants to be yours to.

Please know that YOU are loved.

Psalm 130

From the depths of despair, O Lord,

I called for your help.

Hear my cry, O Lord.

Pay attention to my prayer.

Lord, if you kept a record of our sins,

who, O Lord, could ever survive?

But you offer forgiveness,

that we might learn to fear you.

I am counting on the Lord;

yes, I am counting on Him.

I have put my hope in His word,

I long for the Lord

more than sentries long for the dawn,

yes more than sentries long for the dawn.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;

for with the Lord there is unfailing love

and an overflowing supply of salvation.

He himself will free Israel

frome every kind of sin.

Isaiah 40

“To whom will you compare me?

Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.

Lift your eyes and look to the heavens:

Who created these?

He who brings out the starry host one by one,

and calls them each by name.

Isaiah 40

Do you not know?

Have you not heard?

Has it not been told to you from the beginning?

Have you not understood since the earth was founded?

Neither the writer not the reader of these words is qualified to appreciate the holiness of God. Quite literally a new channel must be cut through the desert of our minds to allow the sweet waters of truth that will heal our great sickness to flow in. We cannot grasp the true meaning of the divine holiness by thinking of someone or something very pure and then raising the concept to the highest degree we are capable of. God’s holiness is not simply the best we know infinitely bettered. We know nothing like the divine holiness. It stands apart, unique, unapproachable, incomprehensible and unattainable. The natural man is blind to it. He may fear God’s power and admire His wisdom, but His holiness he cannot even imagine.

A.W. Tozer

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my God.

Psalm 42:11

Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

John 15:4

Jesus Said

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. JOHN 14:27

Peace

Any peace that can be produced by humans is very fragile. It can be destroyed instantly by failure, doubt, fear, difficulty, guilt, shame, distress, regret, sorrow, the anxiety of making a wrong choice, the anticipation of being mistreated or victimised by someone, the uncertainty of the future, and any challenge to our position or possessions. And we experience these things daily.

The peace that God gives is not subject to the vicissitudes of life. It is a spiritual peace; it is an attitude of the heart and mind when we believe and thus know deep down that all is well between ourselves and God. Along with it is the assurance that He is lovingly in control of everything. We as Christians should know for sure that our sins are forgiven, that God is concerned with our well-being, and that heaven is our destiny. God’s peace is our possession and priviledge by divine right.

John MacArthur - Anxious for Nothing

man-of-god:

Call on God

(via struckdownbutnotdestroyed-deact)

Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.

Romans 12:9-10 (via perfectbetrayal)

(via havewelostourselves)

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place, what is mankind that You are mindful of them, human beings that You care for them?

Psalm 8:3-4 (via erby88)

(via havewelostourselves)

Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I’m not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you’ve felt that way.
