Be Grateful for Suffering

Hello, I’m Light. Welcome to— Introduction Empathy, care and love have born this post.

Welcome to— A Love Letter  To Those Who Struggle  With Judging Others: “May God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.” Galatians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬ God doesn’t condemn you for being judgmental, beloved.

Hello, I’m  Light .  Welcome to— Introduction God made you for intimate relationship with Him; to know Him as “Abba, Father”, and to authentically be yourself with Him. This post is a short thought about  intimacy and authenticity with God . May you, through gaining knowledge of the truth, be liberated from performing and being ritualistic or religious in your approach to Him, free to be intimate and authentic with your Father.

Relationships are dynamic an...
