I follow Jesus Christ ✝️. I'm 33 years old. I am currently doing the "Bible in a Year", would you like to be prayer buddies? I am a woman rooted in and moving ever more towards traditionalism. 🌻 Slytherin House. 💚🐍 I'm very much into spirituality, it is the natural development when dealing with trauma. 🌱 I love languages and history and nature and learning about people. I'm a fan of many things, books and art and stories. And there is so much more, feel free if you want to ask. 💖

Hey there, as a reminder and because I have to remind myself of that a lot too - God loves you exactly as you are. No ifs, no buts no nothing. He loves you exactly as you are with all the good things and all the bad things and He doesn't have to think twice about it, no matter what you do. I know this sounds very radical. Of course He doesn't want you to hurt yourself or others and He wants you to see the truth eventually but He is fine with what is. There is nothing about you that He doesn't love. The stuff that you think is bad about you, He loves fully. And the only thing we can do in this respect is come into alignment with His love, the truth. Because contrary to popular opinion, nothing gets genuinely better if you reject it or shame it or try to hate it away. A) it doesn't go anywhere, just out of sight and B) if you were also able to love the thing that is "bad" about you, the destructive behaviour of it would stop.

I know extremely well how impossible that can seem sometimes when you have something about you that seems unsalvageable and that other people dislike too. But the real healing comes when you love it as it is and don't love it "so it goes away". When you start loving it just the way it is, it stops going down in terrible patterns on its own. And it doesn't have to be the hugest step, just doing one thing that feels more loving than before is already doing so much. If you just have one action that is a little more loving towards that one aspect of yourself, that is enough to do it step by step. You don't have to find the big all encompassing solution to it all.

God has no resistance to you. I'm still trying to understand that but genuinely He loves every part of you exactly as you are and without needing it to change. It's not like He has to wake up in the morning and think really hard how He could love you now that you have done xyz. He created you, He loves you completely because you exist and even that is an understatement, His love doesn't even need a reason. But just when you find yourself judging yourself again for something in order to be "good", just notice and remember that God is able to love this and if you find love for it too, it comes back to the original peace and release. Best wishes and blessings to you all. 🙏🏼💚

You guys, really, I wish more people would be interested in this and realize what it means that the buildings on the World's Fairs all around the world by the turn of the century most likely had been there before those events. They were a remnant of the Old World. And that there is probably much more to our collective history that we were bereft of.

I'm just going to continue posting about it because it is incredibly fascinating and you just feel such a deep yearning for this ancestry of ours, once you start looking into it a bit. 💜

I've been pondering a question. A question that I'm asking myself but also as a teacher I see kids and teenagers asking me this in the future.

If God loves me so very much and His love is unconditional, how do I know?

Practically, I mean. How can I know that He really does love me so much, that He loves me unconditionally?

Taking my example, I cannot really know it through my experiences. I've been hurt badly, I've been bullied, I've been neglected, I've been abandoned, most of my family has died in the past 5 years, I'm severely impacted by all this, my health is really not good, those who I've asked for help have kicked me down harder and the people I've called my friends have 90% gone on with their lives without me even though I've tried almost every nice thing I could think of.

That is pretty devastating. There are of course very loving things that I've experienced and I don't mean to discredit any of this. Among other things, I love my boy cat very much, he was born last year. ❤🐈 He's the best boi and I wanted to adopt him so much and I'm so thankful that it was possible even though there was so much trouble at first.

Now anyways, this is a very beautiful experience and there are many, many experiences that are beyond awful. But my main point is that through our experiences we can get to know God and seek to understand His mystery but I don't think we can know His love for us this way. I don't think any of my experiences make me feel or understand if He really truly loves me with all His heart. Does anybody have a thought about this? Is there a cool medieval scholar that has already pondered this question 8 centuries ago? 😯🤔😉

I'm really asking myself and God these questions and I know that when I'm able to teach as I want to, I will have lovely kids coming up to me with questions like these and I'm trying to find ideas for answers. Through worldly things, I don't think we can really know our true identity, which is Gods infinite love for us. A very big thing to think about. 🙂🧚🏼‍♀️💜

By the way, just as a short statement - I was quite happy that the law on abortion was overturned. I just don't trust this whole thing from the wallpaper to the wall, as we say here. This is a government move and at this point I don't believe much benefit will come from it. And I don't believe it happened because people so strongly believe in the sacredness of life. I don't see this as a victory and I don't see this as "Jesus has conquered evil, hallelujah." I wish I could but that seems completely unaware and kind of naive to me. I certainly hope it has positive effects still but I don't feel like this is a genuine step forward. And seeing how the reaction from the pro-choice people went, I have no faith in people's ability to learn that they are supporting and fighting for absolutely disgusting "goals". I wish and pray that the shadows that are obstructing humankind from genuinely seeing clearly, be dissolved and that God's will for all our wellbeing may prevail. Amen.

Does anybody else feel that way too - especially around Easter I feel soooooo annoyed with the state of the world, with the average level of human consciousness and the spiritlessness and phlegm of so many people. They literally just pass their time here and end up being 70.

I'm like - I am BORED OUT OF MY MIND with your worldliness, leave me the f*** alone with your nonsensical, repetitive "way of life"! There is nothing in it that brings any excitement or sublimeness, you believe in nothing and you just repeat the same empty motions year after year!

A human being is literally risen from the dead and you just shrug and turn back to your consumerism!? I am appalled. What are you doing if you're not trying to know more about yourself, what are you doing if you're not seeking God!?

Anytime I feel that connection and the reality of the resurrection truly here on Earth, I am so overwhelmed and in awe, I cry a lot and I feel like - how can we be so distracted by so many nonsensical things in our lives every day when the real depths of the pure magic and holiness of this world has not even been scratched by our experience!? Wonder is at our hand's reach even if we feel devastated and hopeless often. But the real tragedy is just shrugging at the idea of God and having no notion of who Jesus really is and what He offers to each one of us. May people's eyes and hearts be opened again to God's true wonder. In Jesus' holy name, Amen. 🙏🏼💚

Poem from The Backwater Sermons by Jay Hulme. 

Yes, Jesus would love you unconditionally but He would not lie to you, even if it feels good. He would tell you that there's absolutely nothing wrong with you but He would never tell you that there's nothing to be healed, especially not in this context.

But yeah, He would love you patiently and unconditionally until you are ready to look at yourself and look at what needs to be healed.
