Weightless ⁠♡

  I stepped out of myself today. I just stood there, a silent ghost, watching my own body move through the heavy ache of living. It broke something inside my mind to see it from the outside to look into my own eyes and feel the absolute, hollow emptiness staring back. I used to hold onto things. I used to have hope. But I watched it drain out of me, until there was nothing left but space. I am so light now. So fragile, like dry autumn leaves. If the wind were to catch me right now, it would carry me away, drift me across the sky, and drop me somewhere so far down that I would never, ever want to come back. There is a strange regret in being this hollow. I watched my body beg for sleep, pleading for the dark to just turn off the noise. But sleep is no longer a requirement for this life. The clock keeps ticking, but the rest never comes. So I roamed. Endless, heavy nights, walking side by side with my lover. Dark after dark, two shadows chasing a phantom. We were hunting for hope, bu...

Why You Don’t Have To Read Your Bible Every Day To Be A Good Christian

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 God๐Ÿ’™"

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 ๐Ÿซค. It literally doesn't make sense in any scenario, but somehow we believe that's what Christianity is about ๐Ÿ‘€. 

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 this๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’… "You don't have to stress over not reading your bible everyday ๐Ÿค" Like, if you're out here feeling guilty like :

 "Oh no, I haven't studied my Bible in days ๐Ÿ’”, I must be a bad Christian ๐Ÿ˜ข" 

Chill. Breathe. You're not a failure and God hasn't cancelled you๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿฉต

Let's be honest, does not reading your textbook everyday make you a bad student??.... 

Obviously not, it just means your life is lifing ๐Ÿฅน and you're doing your best ๐Ÿฃ๐ŸŒŸ

If you really want to be that gurl in Christ, it's not about chasing perfection through your works ๐Ÿคท‍♀️--- it's about believing the Gospel ❣️.

 What's the Gospel you might ask๐Ÿค”, it's the good news that:

๐Ÿ“Œ: Christ died for your sins 

๐Ÿ“Œ: He was buried ❤‍๐Ÿฉน

๐Ÿ“Œ: He rose again ๐ŸŒฑ

And by simply believing that, you're saved ❤️....no requirements need๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’…. 

Here's the sweet part ๐Ÿ˜‹ >>> when you believe the Gospel, you receive the Holy Spirit ๐Ÿฅณ, like God literally living inside you forever ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿ’•

So if He's already living in you....why are you trying so hard to get "closer" to Him๐Ÿซค?

So being a "Good Christian" isn't about forcing daily bible study, constant church attendance and doing good things all the time ๐Ÿ’‍♀️....

Those things help us for sure, but your relationship with God is not built on tasks๐Ÿ’ช.

 It's built on trust ๐Ÿ’•. Cuz no one is perfect and we all make mistakes ๐Ÿคท‍♀️๐Ÿ’—. 

๐ŸŒธ Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord ๐Ÿ’–.

 He died and rose from the dead to take your sins away ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿ’•๐ŸŒธ And just like that, you're born again ๐Ÿฅน. 

You're a whole new creation. A baby ๐Ÿฃ 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 ♾️๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’– 

Your status is now: Forever sealed and loved ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’ž
