Your shoulders hang like glaciers.
They are the iceberg that sunk
the Titanic of our friendship
but you were the only one that
drowned.
Tell me what your worst fears are. I bet they look a lot like mine.
Tell me what you think about when you can’t fall asleep at night.
Tell me that you’re struggling. Tell me that you’re scared. No,
Tell me that you’re terrified of life.
Tell me that it’s difficult to not think of death sometimes.
Tell me how you lost. Tell me how he left. Tell me how she left.
Tell me how you lost everything that you had.
Tell me that it ain’t ever coming back.
Tell me about God. Tell me about love.
Tell me that it’s all of the above.
Say you think of everything in fear.
I bet you’re not the only one does.
guys, let’s just all drink tea and eat cake and hug each other, okay?

Jude 3: “I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.”
There was once a time when I couldn’t comprehend why people made a fuss about right doctrine/orthodoxy. I reasoned that if it was all about Jesus anyway, if it was all about loving others and loving God then why get involved with the nitty gritty intricacies of doctrine?
Now I understand why heterodoxy is so harmful.
If you believe the Bible is God’s self-revelation, and if 2 Timothy 3:16 is true, then Scripture is sufficient to teach us what we need to know about God. Perhaps in manipulating Scripture, false teachers cause more harm than the militant atheists for even though they’re telling other about a god, it’s one created in their own image with the consequence that those under their influence are led to worship a false god rather than the God of the Bible.

One of those days where your nails match the book you’re reading
“Sorry sir, I couldn’t finish my essay because I was too busy having an existential crisis.”
I’ve a friend who’s slowly destroying herself and I can’t help her and it’s killing me.
Why can’t you save anyone?
When God broke Adam’s bone
It was more than a fracture in his chest,
Leaving a void the size of eternity
Right next to the heart of every man,
But that is why i love you my dear
For you set my bones in place
When i go astray, keeping me together
With tendons of love and grace
So daughter of Eve
Know that your heart
Fills a void in me
That no other eternity could
