Divinely obnoxious?
Godliness is like humility. It is lost when we actively pursue it. Living by the doctrine to which you subscribe is infinitely more important than preaching it. People learn from how you treat them, not from how you chastise them. Judging the faith of another reveals the cracks in your self-worth more than it offers…

You cannot make them rise
I’ve seen, and experienced first hand, the disaster that awaits when we convince ourselves that the demons that others deal with is our responsibility to resolve.

Every mind can be healed
TRIGGER WARNING: If you prefer a victim mindset, don’t read further. This is an extremely important reminder given the horribly unhealthy mindset that this meme encourages. There is no such thing as a broken mind. There is a struggling human, and there is good reason to feel duress, even debilitating duress. Understanding the reasons for…
