Warped Reflection


Have you ever looked into a mirror that has a curve or bend in it? You see these kinds of things that make you looked bigger or smaller in areas. As a people of looks, we often think that if I am not skinny or have great hair or pretty skin then I am not going to have friends or be popular. This happens to girls, boys, kids, and adults. We all judge our looks so much that we become sick with envy or sadness. It's as if we are looking into a warped reflection of our lives and looks. Sometimes we believe that our lives aren't pretty. Maybe they are just pretty on the outside but torn on the inside. We always try to hide the bad thing in our life like many try to hide a zit. Why? We are scared to let people know that sometimes lives and situations are wrecked. When we look at ourselves this way, we are letting our old flesh win instead of looking at our new spiritual side in Christ.  we shouldn't be ashamed of our lives. Yes we may feel guilty if something was our fault but mental illness, disease, and things like that are because of the sin in our world. I think it's time we look at ourselves and our lives the way God does. The mirror that God sees us through is one that is wiped clean and is perfectly made because we are forgiven, He has wiped away all of the smudges and fixed all of the cracks and curves. We need to look at ourselves through God's eyes.

Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Psalm 139:14-17
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the Earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts God! How vast is the sum of them!

2 Corinthians 5:17-18
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.

Romans 8:37
"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."

Easter Promise

Today is Easter. The day when we celebrate Jesus conquering death by rising again. If you're like me, you can go numb to the power in that statement. To help, I think of it this way: The Bible says that God is our father. Our Father in Heaven sent His Son, Jesus, to die. Jesus was beaten, mocked, spit on, ridiculed, and then given a crown of long sharp thorns that were beaten into his head. Prior to that, He was under such extreme stress since He knew that all of that was coming that hematidrosis set in. That is when blood vessels rupture in the sweat glands causing Jesus to sweat blood. He went through all of that emotional and physical pain because He loved us to the point of death. If you have heard anyone talk about how they would die for someone because of there love for them, Jesus already did that even though we don't always show Him love in return; Even though the ones He died to save included those who killed Him. That death included whips digging into His back, bei...

What is Love?

     The question that we all ask ourselves at some point in our lives is, “what is love?” Is it, doing things for others, is it seeming to enjoy being with someone more than just as friends. Is it a sacrifice? Is it 50-50 I do something for you, you do something for me. Is it blind? There are a lot of views and opinions on what love could be and what it isn’t. I think that it’s an important question to be answered especially if we are called to love others. I figure the best way to find the answer to that is to ask love itself. 1 John 4:8 says that “God is love.” Now we have added to the question of “what is love”, “who is God?” if we learn more about God we learn more about how to love. The Bible says that God is our Father in Heaven, so is a father's love for their child the perfect love? For some that would make love very difficult and no father-child relationship is the same or perfect so we can’t fully trust our world's imperfect example. I think the best answe...

Guide Of Life

Hey everybody! First off  I would like to apologize for the very late post. I have been in the process of moving and to be honest have been trying to figure out things for myself. My depression has escalated in a way that I am still trying to figure out how to handle. Throughout all of it I am trying to find where my personality went after my anxiety stole it. One thing about depression, at least for me, is that everytime I start to understand it, it changes. It's really draining to be hit with the same thing over and over and yet everytime not know how to cope with it. That is why I haven't posted. I am trying to learn to cope with the depression that is all rooted within my own mind. I get confused on why I cant seem to catch a break in this and so I didnt know how to write about what I learned when I dont even know what to learn yet. It's hard to see the bright side or the knowledge that is to be learned when you are hit head on with all of the trials that come with o...
