If you have 5 minutes to spare, watch this video. I guarantee it will make you think about praying for somebody.
Props to ASU CRU for putting together such an amazing video.
Truth
Fear of God failing us leads us to “cover for God”.
This means we ask, expect, and are satisfied with less.- Francis Chan
There are no words to describe how genius this video is.
So God has been utterly breaking my heart over sexual injustices done to women, particularly within sex-trafficking.
I think it’s really easy to remain hardened to this topic;
we’d rather just exist desensitized and let the cobwebs of passivity keep us glued to mainstream’s sex-saturated sitcoms,
while the cheap pretense of pop and raps’ euphonious beats heave wide the doors for perverted lyrics to pervade the idle streets of our minds.
Ignorance is bliss, no?
When we try to deal with sin, we become involved with what we are not. But when we deal with the righteousness of Christ, we become involved with who He is for us, and what we are in Him.
This is why rejoicing is an absolute necessity; it’s not an option, it’s like breathing.
We spend so much energy in dealing with negatives….only the devil has a vested interest in making us think our flesh is still alive.
The Holy Spirit has a vested interest in us knowing that it’s dead.
And he who is dead is free.
He who is free is free to become who God has called him to be.

My intimacy with Jesus is my most intimidating factor. David was too busy being fascinated by God than to be intimidated by Goliath.
My first responsibility to mankind is to be loved really well…to become the beloved.
There’s nothing I can do that will make God love me more or less. As I change for the better, the only thing that will change is my ability to accept His love.

So, regardless of my inactivity, I’ve very much maintained my Tumblr creeping status these past 6 months…I would go so far as to say that my dedication has augmented (special thanks to Global Health lecture)
I just love beauty and all the different forms individual people find.
And I realized that I’ve been too intimidated to post my own musings. And I realized it’s the same reason why I don’t do as much art as I would like to: I always feel like whatever I draw or write or post is the one and only expression of me that’ll ever be…and so I always procrastinate until something really brilliant comes along. Which of course, (even if it does), I’m convinced there’s something more.
SOOOOOOooo…down with perfectionism. Up with posting traces of me and reminders of who God is!!! =D
“How can you expect Me to break other’s hearts of their pride to turn to Me
if I haven’t broken your heart for Me?
How can you expect me to reveal Myself to others
if you have yet to receive revelation of who I AM?
How can you expect to love others
if you haven’t received MY love?
Let me crush you with the weight of MY jealous love.
Let Me drown you in the ocean of My love.”
[God]
