Love Is My Commandment: I am not your hero →
loveismycommandment:
I am not your hero. I don’t even want to be your role model.
Now, I’m not saying I’m not blessed if you look up to me. I definitely am and I appreciate the love and support I get from so many.
If the way I live inspires you, praise God! That’s awesome. But hear my heart.
What I am saying is…
PREACH!

It’s really important to love yourself. Not to exalt yourself, Or take pride in your accomplishments or to be selfish. And may you always put the needs of others above your own and trust God for everything you need, But love yourself. And remember that love is…
You do not need one time of the year to celebrate the birth of Jesus, as if your whole life isn’t already a celebration of His birth, life, death, and resurrection.
December 25th, you are the same holy, righteous, complete child of God you have always been, and your life is no more or less His celebration of you and vice versa. You do not need a set apart day to rejoice. It is enough that...
”But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth....

If I see/hear anyone, literally anyone, whether it be my best friend, my husband, or the pharisees that lurk my facebook, teaching something that could put people in bondage, I’m gonna say something. Every. Single. Time.
It has nothing to do with you and me just thinking you’re wrong. It has nothing to do with my personal thoughts about you, which most of the time I’m sure are...

So last night, I ran into this awesome girl. She prayed for me, and then, for the first time in seriously over a year, I got kind of…drunk…in the Spirit…I guess. And you know what happened? I started looking around. Because I saw it in my head, it was a woman in blue scrubs needing to know that who she is and all she does is seen and appreciated. And then I saw her. And I told...

I think I fully realize now how repelling the idea of casual dating and relationships are to me, and how damaging they are. I’ve been talking to a young single mom for a while, and she kept trying to hook me up with guys, and in the beginning thought that my views on waiting for…
WHAAAAT ?!?! YESSS!
If you read the Bible and think, “Wow, I wish I was that. God teach me how to be that,” you are confused about who Jesus has made you. His Word is meant to show you who you already are, and when your mind is renewed to that reality, your life will bear fruit accordingly. For example, Ephesians 2:10 says that we ARE God’s workmanship (the Greek work is poema, literally meaning a...

Okay.

That awesome moment where someone next to you is super drunk in the Spirit laughing their ass off…and you laugh with them even when you feel nothing, because joy isn’t a feeling, it’s a Person. And even when I don’t feel joyful, I can still laugh and it be genuine, because His joy is in me regardless of what my fleeting emotions tell me.

The more you battle against yourself, the more you will lose. What ever happened to letting God change our mindsets (repentance) instead of laboring against things Jesus already defeated? Your sin is not who you are. Your struggles are not who you are. Who you are is victorious.

I just bought John THE best Christmas present ever.
I’m just feeling really bummed and it’s not okay.
If you know me and you feel like I’m going down a path that’s far from beneficial to me, TALK TO ME ABOUT IT. I WANT YOU TO. THAT’S WHAT FRIENDS DO.
My friend Megan did it the other night, and it was maybe the second or third time that someone who cared about me has ever said something along the lines of, “This is ridiculous, this is not who you are, and I won’t...
You’re absolutely right if you think I’m a little defensive about the GLBT community. They have been persecuted and oppressed and abused and it would be wrong for me to NOT defend them as children of God every time someone who claims to be a Christians treats them as lesser, undeserving human beings. The minute you bring it up in a condescending way, I’ll defend them to the T...
I’m taking a break from dealing with religion, because it stresses me out and sometimes I allow it to steal my joy. It causes me to stumble. So if I unfollow you temporarily, don’t take it personally.

loveismycommandment asked: Big sis, I want to know how you and John do it. I notice there's such a relate-ability and simplicity to love that you guys carry. Your thing about not fantasizing about or idealizing marital sex rocked me because that's honestly what I've been doing for a long time. I haven't even had my first kiss yet and so instead up until this point I have so much time idealizing what...

Jesus was not born on December 25th. The reason we celebrate Christmas when we do is because the Roman emperor Constantine in the 3rd century liked the idea of Christianity, and he would have liked all the pagans to convert. So he took the holidays they celebrated and the temples they worshiped in and put little “Christian” twists on them, while not really changing the content of what...
