When Death Passed By Our Door
My cozy space to think out loud and make sense of life in real time. I explore psychology, faith, emotions, identity and everything in between. Not as an expert, but as a girl trying to figure it all out with honesty. If you're tired of vague advice and surface level healing. You're at the right place ♡. If you love journaling, deep talks and figuring life out slowly, you'll feel right at home here ๐ก๐
So like, one thing I honestly don't get is how everywhere you turn, someone's saying "You have to read your Bible every single day if you want to get close to God๐"
Like be for real. That's like saying I have to read my science textbook everyday just to have a good relationship with my teacher ๐ซค. It literally doesn't make sense in any scenario, but somehow we believe that's what Christianity is about ๐.
Personally, I don't think reading your Bible 24/7 or doing "nice Christian thing" is what makes you a good Christian.
And I really want my fellow girlies in Christ to hear this๐๐ "You don't have to stress over not reading your bible everyday ๐ค" Like, if you're out here feeling guilty like :
"Oh no, I haven't studied my Bible in days ๐, I must be a bad Christian ๐ข"
Chill. Breathe. You're not a failure and God hasn't cancelled you๐คญ๐ฉต
Let's be honest, does not reading your textbook everyday make you a bad student??....
Obviously not, it just means your life is lifing ๐ฅน and you're doing your best ๐ฃ๐
If you really want to be that gurl in Christ, it's not about chasing perfection through your works ๐คท♀️--- it's about believing the Gospel ❣️.
What's the Gospel you might ask๐ค, it's the good news that:
๐: Christ died for your sins
๐: He was buried ❤๐ฉน
๐: He rose again ๐ฑ
And by simply believing that, you're saved ❤️....no requirements need๐๐ .
Here's the sweet part ๐ >>> when you believe the Gospel, you receive the Holy Spirit ๐ฅณ, like God literally living inside you forever ๐ฅน๐ซถ๐
So if He's already living in you....why are you trying so hard to get "closer" to Him๐ซค?
So being a "Good Christian" isn't about forcing daily bible study, constant church attendance and doing good things all the time ๐♀️....
Those things help us for sure, but your relationship with God is not built on tasks๐ช.
It's built on trust ๐. Cuz no one is perfect and we all make mistakes ๐คท♀️๐.
๐ธ Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord ๐.
He died and rose from the dead to take your sins away ๐ท๐๐ธ And just like that, you're born again ๐ฅน.
You're a whole new creation. A baby ๐ฃ in the eyes of our Lord, but a soft girl in the spirit ❤️.
With your name written in heaven ✍️ and the Holy Spirit holding your hand forever ♾️๐๐
Your status is now: Forever sealed and loved ๐ฅฐ๐
I know right ๐it's as simple as that
