wholeness-n-holiness asked you:

Rebuilding trust takes one thing above all: time; consistent change over time. And the way to tell a truly repentant person is that they don’t mind putting in that time.
Maybe it’s because of the Christian thing about guys being the asker, which is fine, but Christian girls sometimes adopt this passivity, that’s not true, not Godly, not biblical. You have an active role in your own relational life. If a guy mistreats you, it is your role to tell him to beat it and if a sweet Christian guy works up the courage to ask you out (and you want to go) your role is to actively say ‘yes’. You are not resigned to being cast about by the whims and emotions thrown your way.

The Squeezings of my Brain Grapes.: My Friend Hates God! What Do I Do?!! →
alwaysbeinfinite asked you:
my friend lost his mom about 11 years ago, and he still blames God. I just don’t know what to tell him. He refuses God because he believes that God took his mother so therefore God is evil.I can’t enforce that, that just isn’t the truthbecause he won’t believe me….
I believe in Jesus. That means I believe less and less in money, good looks, success, popularity and all the other stuff people say will bring you security and happiness. I believe less and less in my own ability to run my life. The more I believe in Him, the less I need anything else.

TRADE THIS LIFE
I wrote this song when our little boy Jack was a newborn. He wasn’t sleeping through the night and being up with him all the time was an extremely difficult season of our lives, but even in the midst of that trial, I wouldn’t have traded anything for the life we had with him.
Many times people feel like God just sort of tolerates them. They think God is frustrated with their continued cycles of wrong and is constantly disappointed in them. The truth is, no matter how hard you think you are to live with, God wouldn’t trade a life with you for anything. He loves you like a brand-new dad loves his brand-new baby. He can’t take His eyes off of you…
This is SUCH a cool image!
I was watching the movie “Hook” today (I am a huge fan of “Peter Pan”). The scene where one of the lost boys examined Peter’s face to see if he was really Peter reminded me of how I sometimes forget who I am in Christ. I get caught up in different things and the big fat lies the enemy keeps on planting in my head, and so I feel lost and far away from Jesus. Eventually, I get tired and I start looking for Him again. But as it turns out, He has been beside me all along. I feel His hands wiping the dust off of my face and then he says, just like the lost boy to Peter, “There you are!”
The idea of Jesus’ hands on my face somehow reminded me of Clement Chen’s song “In Your Arms”. It’s amazing how God is always happy to see us come back to him no matter how far we’ve gone; how He still knows our truest selves and sees the best in us beneath all of the filth and scars that have covered our faces.There You Are, 05/14/12watercolor on paper
