I've Found One Thing to be Certain

In a world where we call black "white" and wrong "right"... Where the rich and powerful tread upon the Everyman... Where the wicked spreads themselves like a green bay tree and so-called religious leaders bend the knee to kiss the ring of the golden calf... I've found You, Lord, time and time again, are faithful.

You are faithful even when I fail. You are faithful even when I am faithless, for you cannot deny yourself.

To my Manga Family in the "United" States, do not be cast down. Laws may be passed. Rights may be taken away. Books may be banned. But Oligarchs cannot touch your spirit. Saints, don't let them break you. Be patient. Stand still in peace and you will see. Be encouraged. You and I are not alone. We are not alone. 🙏🏽💐❤️

... Read moreIn today’s fast-changing world, many face difficult circumstances that can test their faith and resilience. As the Psalm 139:10 states, 'Even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.' This verse serves as a powerful reminder that divine support is always present, guiding us through dark times. When facing challenges such as societal shifts, injustices, or the uncertainty of rights being stripped away, it’s vital to find strength in community and faith. Engaging with supportive groups or communities, such as the 'Manga Family' mentioned, can reinforce our spirits. The notion that 'Oligarchs cannot touch your spirit' emphasizes the power of inner strength, which is crucial in times of uncertainty. The world around us may change, but our core beliefs and community can help us stand firm and encouraged. In addition to seeking support from loved ones and friends, exploring scriptural guidance can provide solace. Scriptures offer rich teachings that can help us navigate life’s complexities with grace. Remember, standing in peace during turmoil can not only transform our outlook but also inspire those around us to do the same. Ultimately, knowing that we are not alone in our struggles allows us to find comfort and strength, reinforcing the importance of faith, community, and resilience.
