Joy

There’s something greater than dopamine that occurs in the body when you take time for the Lord. I honestly feel so joyful and blessed to be able to bask in His Presence. 

Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.

Psalm 84:10

Never Stops

Song of the Day / Never Stops by Urban Rescue.

“My heart may wander; Your love will never stop chasing after me.”

That’s right, God’s love, his burning, incessant, ardent love for us will never waiver no matter where our hearts roam. As I heard this song, wandering about in my room I couldn’t help but find assurance in those words. There’s something about God’s love that defeats all perspectives of reality. It’s not earthly; it doesn’t fall into any earthly realm. A realm of destruction, pain, false intentions, deceit. No, God’s love is pure, heavenly, righteous, and, we’re totally undeserving. Yeah, that’s right. 

Prayer for Guidance and Humility

God, 

I pray that I will stay in humble under the impressions of Your great works.

I know that Your ways are greater than mine, that your plan for my life exceeds anything I could ever come up with.

I pray for guidance and for Your grace to always be with me and my family.

Amen.

My First Love

“All the way back, all the way back, all the way back, to my first love.”

- Bethel, “First Love”

/ Quite a while ago, The Creator of the skies and seas breathed my soul into existence. He took lifeless dust and molded it to resemble His image. He made life where there was no life, and Light where darkness was present. He’s my first love, because He loved me before any other being did. In fact, til this day, He loves me more greatly, passionately, fiercely, loyally, than anyone ever has or ever will. God is my first love.

Thriving in Weakness

image

      Did you know that God’s grace is more likely to fall upon the weak? Powerless? Defeated?

You see, though everyone has a chance to experience God’s grace (and already has), it’s those who are the most helpless and vulnerable that savor the full goodness of it. Why? Because at the lowest point of their lives is when joy is the most welcomed and appreciated.

Getting five hundred dollars is merely not enough if you’re rich and residing in the house of your dreams. Now how about if you have no source of income and are barely getting by? Whether you’re in that predicament for years or just a few hours, receiving five hundred dollars would warm your heart. Tingle your toes. Heck, you’d probably even cry. There’s a deep gratitude that emerges when you move forward from being at the bottom. There’s a humbling presence that surrounds you when you realize the grace in your life, but never forget where you once were.  Being weak doesn’t make you poor, or vice versa, however the message rings clear: the helplessness that arises from being weak can birth gratitude for God’s goodness in your life.

“He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor.”

   1 Samuel 2:8

God loves working in the hearts of the weak, for His strength shall make them strong. His work in their lives illustrate mercy and love. And even if they were to ever forget Him, there’s no doubt where their help came from.

“I lift up my eyes up to the hill. From where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”

    Psalm 121: 1-2

Fear is a Liar

As a teenager, child, believer, whatever it may be, I’ve come to the terms that fear is a liar. Every bit of it. Every type of it, excluding the fear of God.  What fruits does one receive from succumbing to fear? None, for fear steals joy; fear steals happiness. I am very aware and alert to the fact that fear is different for every person, and can range from a minimal lurker to a severe draping of darkness and anxiety over one’s life, nevertheless, there is One that is greater than fear, and His name (Jesus) will set you free. 

Fear is a Liar, but Jesus is my Savior and he died for just that.

Remember to die to your fears not just today, but everyday.

P.S: Tomorrow just happens to be my 16th birthday. :)

Our God loves us, even though we are so unworthy of it. He chases us even as we run away. When we're slaves to sin, even then He doesn't ever let us go. Our God is good, and even more so good to us.

[FRIENDLY REMINDER] We’re Running on Borrowed Time

We’re running on borrowed time. Let’s make every moment count. Let’s realize what battles are worth fighting and which ones are not. God’s in control.

Michael Archangel

Michael was supposed to be the leader. He was supposed to be better than his older brothers. He ended up being a secretive and anxious man that was horrified of falling from heaven, like his brothers. So he kept secrets that ended up with him doing what he was trying to avoid to “better himself” on earth. Michael has committed the sin of adultery over thousands of years. He fell in love with the man he committed the sin with.

His older brothers are Lucifer and Satan. His father is God. His (ex) wife is the second horseman of the apocalypse, her name is war. The man he committed his sin with is the Leviathan, also known as Levi.

feel free to ask me questions about Michael. More information on the other characters is soon to come.

Satan

Twin to Lucifer, and older brother to Michael, satan is the second of michaels brothers to fall. Satan fell due to his love of asking questions, his ability to point out the flaws and bring them up to God. Satan saw how his creator treated his brother, Lucifer. 

Being the first two beings God created, they had some flaws. The most important thing was that they had feelings. They had emotions. They were created with some defective parts. Both Lucifer and Satan's wings never worked correctly. 

Satan loved his brothers, and he loved the freedom that came with his fall. He took his place in hell, helping Lucifer run the world. 

Satan also helped Leviathan get to his spot in hell as well. Together they ruled hell until Lucifer’s children were old enough to take over their respective domains. 

Now satan is a short punk rock uncle. He drives a motorcycle and has a guitar that’s sharper than an ax. He rules the wrath ring alone.

Mammon

The first son of Lucifer, and twin to beelzebub. Mammon is a very stubborn man. He cares about his family and money. He doesn’t know how to express his love for his family so he buys them lavish gifts often. 

His essence is of a dragon. Gold covering his home, clothes, and life. His features are meant to breathe and live through fire. Although most of the people he’s wanted to date in his life turn him down, due to his “undesirable” appearance. His nose resembles a reptile, he has scales, a tail, and horns. He’s still looking for a person that will love him for himself.

He works with the big corporations of earth. They give him money, and in turn he makes sure they thrive for at least a year or so.

They have long light brown, curly hair. They’re very large, and strong.

Leviathan

he is quite literally the first character I had thought about, and drawn. Leviathan was nothing more then a monster trapped by chains until Adam and Eve committed the first sin. He was released to protect the humans and sea creatures from each other. 

Before this Satan, Lucifer, and Michael had only heard of this creature. They wanted to help it, for they could hear the cries of pain from under the sea.

Once the creature was released it came up to the surface to find the ones that we’re worried about it. 

Those angels taught it how to thrive in both the sea and land, and soon enough this creature took a long term form. He was a man with dark brown,wavy locks of hair. He was a tall beautiful man with razor sharp canines and piercing yellow eyes. 

The brothers lived in harmony with Leviathan even after two of them fell. Though leviathan could not say the same for the humans on land.

They were taking, and taking, and taking from the oceans ecosystems. The humans were thriving off of the sea, while Leviathan and his sea creatures were dying. So he decided to do something about it. 

He made a deal with the fallen brothers, so that if he died while going through with his plan, he would become a prince in hell. 

Leviathan's plan was to destroy the city that was taken from the oceans, there was just one more problem. He had a relationship with one of the brothers, Michael, the only brother that didn’t fall. He didn’t want to hurt Michael but he couldn’t stand the humans. 

He ended up attacking the city from the sea, recruiting other creatures to help him. Michael was sent to the city to protect the humans, killing leviathan in the process. 

His only love, became his demise. For years he was furious. Michael had been pushed to marry a horseman that he didn’t even love. Leviathan could see it. 

Over time he forgave Michael, although he still dreams of his death. They began to have meals together, along with other stuff…

Once more they had fallen for each other.

Belphegor

she is the only sister of the 4 young princes. She’s twins with Asmodeus. She’s quite the opposite of her twin. She’s aroace and very antisocial. She only hangs around her close friends and family. 

Her friends are death and pestilence. And even though belphegor is the ruler of the sloth ring she is a very hard worker. She never sleeps, she’s working almost constantly, to make time for relaxation. 

Like all of Lilith's children she absolutely loves her mom and gives her gifts in the form of butterflies. 

Her shirts also have a distinctive feature. Her shirt changes every time someone looks away
