not Morty changing his physical appearance to get one date with Velma :(

"Go on, God seemed to be saying. Bring it up." too relatable

I love reading my favorite books in Spanish, and the actors have me 100% locked in

so in conclusion don't be a false prophet or lead people astray because your end will be swift 🫢

That is what is meant in the Bible by loving him (your enemy): wishing his good, not feeling fond of him nor saying he is nice when he is not. 🗣️

This is, I think, one little part of what Christ meant by saying that a thing will not really live unless it first dies. It is simply no good trying to keep any thrill: that is the very worst thing you can do. Let the thrill go let it die away go on through that period of death into the quieter interest and happiness that follow and you will find you are living in a world of new thrills all the time.

Our experience is coloured through and through by books and plays and the cinema, and it takes patience and skill to disentangle the things we have really learned from life for ourselves. People get from books the idea that if you have married the right.‼️

Now, today, this moment, is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It will not last for ever. We must take it or leave it. ❤️

All of my books are aligning with scripture and I am in disbelief!

"How did they know while most didn't? The simple answer lies in their sensitivity to the spirit of God" 🗣️

"(Christ's return) It is mentioned 318 times in the New Testament alone...the season of Jesus' second coming is the most written about time period in scripture" it truly was emphasized to us of 1) His return and 2) as being extremely important

"That advantage call it ‘unfair’ if you like is the only reason why he can be of any use to me. To what will you look for help if you will not look to that which is stronger than yourself?" C.S. Lewis was out here clocking people 🤭

"Notice, too, their idea of God ‘making religion simple’; as if ‘religion’ were something God invented, and not His statement to us of certain quite unalterable facts about His own nature." ❤️

"And I think if you look at the present state of the world, it is pretty plain that humanity has been making some big mistakes. We are on the wrong road. And if that is so, we must go back. Going back is the quickest way on." wait just a minute...

"If they are wrong they need your prayers all the more; and if they are your enemies, then you are under orders to pray for them. That is one of the rules common to the whole house." already speaking facts I'm going to need a highlighter!

"It is not for us to say who, in the deepest sense, is or is not close to the spirit of Christ. We do not see into men’s hearts. We’ cannot judge, and are indeed forbidden to judge. It would be wicked arrogance for us to say that any man is, or is not, a Christian in this refined sense." 🗣️

"Unspeakable! Sickening! What’s happened in this country? Prophets preach lies and priests hire on as their assistants. And my people love it. They eat it up! But what will you do when it’s time to pick up the pieces?" :0

"But you, God, you have an eye for truth, don’t you? You hit them hard, but it didn’t faze them. You disciplined them, but they refused correction. Hardheaded, harder than rock, they wouldn’t change." ‼️

"Look closely. Has this ever happened before, that a nation has traded in its gods for gods that aren’t even close to gods? But my people have traded my Glory for empty god-dreams and silly god-schemes." such a gut punch 😭

in two chapters and I'm already crying

"But even if I were all those things, I hadn’t always been. Once, I’d been a daughter, a sister, a beloved little girl. I hated to think about that. But thinking about it was crucial, I see now. Remembering a better time, a time when I had value, may have been the only thing that kept me from giving up." 💔

Only 3 chapters in and I'm already on the verge of tears 😭

Wait I was not expecting that 😧

Okay that's about the only thing that Debbie has done that wasn't completely wrong

Take it back for going places without your phone. Take it back for all the things you always wanted to do, the things you stopped doing when the pace got too fast, the overload exhausted you, and your spirit became weary from too much noise. It’s not too late to take it back. No, it’s not too late. ❤️
