Apple Falling Up

A Chronicle of my quirks and blurbs

21 Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:

22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”

25 The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
26 it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.
27 It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is young.

28 Let him sit alone in silence,
for the LORD has laid it on him.
29 Let him bury his face in the dust—
there may yet be hope.
30 Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him,
and let him be filled with disgrace.

31 For no one is cast off
by the Lord forever.
32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion,
so great is his unfailing love.
33 For he does not willingly bring affliction
or grief to anyone.

34 To crush underfoot
all prisoners in the land,
35 to deny people their rights
before the Most High,
36 to deprive them of justice—
would not the Lord see such things?

37 Who can speak and have it happen
if the Lord has not decreed it?
38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
that both calamities and good things come?

Never.

My friend said he will never believe in God and never go to church. He hasn’t heard what God does with nevers.

I am His

He MADE me His priority when I was lost. He MADE it His priority when a restored relationship with me was what He wanted. That’s why He sent Jesus to die in my place. He loved me that much.

Apple’s Pop-Up Philosophy Tumblr

Follow if you would like to travel with me on my journey through life’s perennial questions.

This stuff is not for the weak at heart.  The pursuit of understanding reality by means of philosophical inquiry may rouse both joy and pain, beliefs, and disturbances that may force you to reject or change your previous beliefs or worldviews.  A certain degree of emotional health is necessary to continue this pursuit.

Pause.

Too many posts and not enough readers. Too many tweets and not enough readers. Everyone wants to be heard but no one wants to listen.

Depressed teenagers

I hate seeing teenagers become depressed and self-loathers because you are each meant to understand love more tangibly than anything else. Sinking in grace is the reality that is meant to overwhelm you and overcome you, not your problems.
