"The Christian life is so much simpler than you think. You don’t have to walk around fighting all kinds of things, or desperately try to conquer God. A Christian begins in the victory. The old has irrevocably died and come to an end. You must rest in the new that you already have been given.
The only thing to take seriously is the new creation within you, the new life which is the life of Christ in you. Everything else is completely uninteresting: it has died, and you don’t have to lose time and energy on it."
~Fr. Wilfrid Stinissen, O.C.D.

Remain in God’s Love
17 Dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said would happen. 18 They told you, “In the last days, some people will make fun of the truth. They will follow their own ungodly desires.” 19 They are the people who separate you from one another. They do only what comes naturally. They are not led by the Holy Spirit.
20 But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith. Let the Holy Spirit guide and help you when you pray. 21 And by doing these things, remain in God’s love as you wait. You are waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life.
22 Show mercy to those who doubt. 23 Save others by pulling them out of the fire. To others, show mercy mixed with fear of sin. Hate even the clothes that are stained by the sins of those who wear them.
Praise to God
24 Give praise to the God who is able to keep you from falling into sin. He will bring you into his heavenly glory without any fault. He will bring you there with great joy. 25 Give praise to the only God our Savior. Glory, majesty, power and authority belong to him. Give praise to him through Jesus Christ our Lord. His praise was before all time, continues now, and will last forever. Amen. — Jude 1:17-25 | New International Reader's Version (NIRV) Holy Bible, New International Reader’s Version® Copyright © 1995, 1996, 1998 by Biblica. All rights reserved worldwide.

I have been seeing a lot of discourse lately about how those who are truly Christians either “don’t sin anymore,” or that once a Christian repents of sin, “they will have total victory over it.”
Um. No. This is not true!
How I wish it was! How I wish it were so simple as repenting of a sin one time and never struggling with it again! Can you imagine? To never struggle with your chief and most often fallen into sin? Someday, my friends. Someday, when we are made whole and perfect and when we are with God, we will not struggle anymore. But until that day comes….
Believers will still sin. And battle. And win. And lose. And struggle. And just because you sin, battle, struggle, and lose does not mean that you aren’t truly saved.
Romans 7:15 “For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.” 
I’ve heard some argue that Paul is talking about unbelievers here, that he is referring to those who have not been saved, someone who is weighed down by the heaviness of the law, religiously minded, but without Christ. In verse 18, he says “I have the desire to do what is good, but not the ability to carry it out.” That sounds like an unbeliever for certain. 
But then, in verse 22, he says, “For I delight in the law of God in my inner being.” And that is not something an unregenerate person is able to do. They can say they delight in the law of God with their lips, but their heart will not delight in it, because they are still slaves to sin, and cannot serve two masters. So, I do think that this passage is talking about those who have had the work of Christ done in their hearts, those who are saved, those who belong to Him.
This passage is also very much about a person who understands their own wretchedness. Unbelievers do not. They don’t know that “nothing good dwells” in them, and they are incapable of knowing because they are spiritually blind. But a believer knows. 
A believer agonizes over sin. Unbelievers don’t. Sure, they may feel pricked by their conscience every once in a while, but they don’t feel wretched about themselves the way believers do.  
So take heart, you who are fighting that battle with porn, you who wants to gossip, you who want to lash out in anger, but who hate those desires and impulses. Take heart. 
Normally, people do not do what they hate. They hate it. Why would they do it? But Christians do. But the fact that you hate it? That ought to be a signal to you that you belong to God. Your hatred of that sin, even the one you continue to go to war with every day, the one you feel like you will never conquer, that is a signal that you belong to God!
Believers do what we hate because we are divided; regenerated, new men saved by Christ on the inside, wicked flesh on the outside. Unbelievers aren’t at war with themselves this way. Take heart.
And be gentle and patient with yourself, and with others. You may think you do not deserve gentleness and patience when you sin. And I know that we all struggle at times with thinking that those who sin against us are not deserving of gentleness and patience. But Christ was and is gentle and patient with you. With others. Take heart. Be gentle. Be patient. And be encouraged that you feel the desire to keep fighting. Know that God can use even your failings and your sin for His ultimate purposes, for your good and His glory. 
Romans 8:28 “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.”

“Jesus forgave you faster than you forgive you!”
- Mike Santiago
The Lord is so timely, I was literally walking into my room still meditating in my mind about my past sin and when I read this quote I was reminded of the truth that He has forgiven me! ❤️
I repented and asked for forgiveness already, now it’s time to walk in the forgiveness that He has given me.
By continuing to meditate on my sins with no game plan for change and not refocusing my mind on His word and truth I am opening myself up to shame, guilt, regret, anxiety etc. I am making room for the enemy to keep me bound mentally and eventually physically.
I share this to encourage someone that the only thing the enemy has on you is your past and because of Jesus he can’t find you there no more!! Focus on the present and future that the Lord has for you because you are free in Jesus’ name and the truth of His word is that you are a new creation in Christ!
God bless you friends! 🙌🏽

I didn’t do a word count on this but I assume it’s under 500 😆 for the commentary meme.
Suddenly, Mayreni's mind was ripped from her body. Or perhaps it only seemed that way. Or perhaps she had only seemed to be in her body in the first place and what she was experiencing now had always been her true self. She saw. So much.
The core of the world, rotating within its many layers. The layers themselves, hardening through the mantle of the planet to the surface. The great volcanoes, bursting with energy, the shifting plates and faults bringing up mountains or hollowing out canyons. Rivers, splashing down from the mountains, chasing themselves out towards the seas.
And the many, many, many, many lives here. Plants and creatures beyond counting. All of it known intimately by the voice in her mind, and yet all of it distinct from it? The creature against whose leg she still rested, and one on the far side of the world, limbs attaching strangely to misshapen body and too many eyes that all seemed to fix on her somehow, though she was far too far away.
One human. Alone. An invader. Small and fragile and easy to kill.
From New Creation (loved it by the way!)
Oh, wow, geez, this scene.
I actually really loved it, and it was one of the kind of...formative scenes around which I built the story. This is the moment where the main character meets God and really understands who she just met. And I went into it trying to describe four mutually exclusive things all at once.
All the tiny, minute details of the planet.
The whole, overall picture of the planet.
That Mayreni is absolutely expendable in the grand scheme.
That Mayreni is important and totally safe within the grand scheme.
So...that's absolutely bananas. I wanted this to be the eldritch revelation moment, but not so that it makes the character to whom it is revealed go mad. So I was kind of setting myself an impossible task going in.
So I got to the scene and kind of pondered over it a bit. We don't even have a full, absolutely certain description of the totality of our own planet, so how am I gonna do that for an alien one? On the other hand, the alien one doesn't actually exist, so a certain amount of winging it is okay...
I decided to start with the planetary building blocks. Structure. Moving out from the inside to the actual...architecture of the thing, I guess. And while I'm "pulling the camera back," so to speak (imagine a big ol' majestic but slightly unsettling orchestra score), I want to be describing motion, motion, motion. The reader's imagination is going to do most of the heavy lifting for bringing the word pictures to life, but by adding motion to them I was hoping to embiggen the pictures in everyone's mind. So things are "rotating, hardening, bursting, bringing up, hollowing out, splashing, chasing" moving moving moving to make the word picture more vivid and dynamic.
Then you move into living organisms, and you've already got the motion in your head, so the idea of plants moving in the wind, bugs eating dirt, herbivores grazing around, this all (I hope) naturally springs into people's heads because of the set up a moment ago. Movement, life, vibrancy, everywhere all over the place.
And it all zooms in to some strange beast on the far end of the planet that looks directly at Mayreni and it's at that moment that the wonder of "oh my gosh cool planet" gets turned on its head to "holy heck a creature that I do not have line of sight with is impossibly looking at me oh crap oh crap oh crap."
The goal there was to have all the amazing come slamming into an utter, mind breaking impossibility where the only logical conclusion is to freak all the way out.
I don't know if I fully hit that note. To be honest, I'm not absolutely sure that note is hittable. But that was the idea that I was hoping to convey here and, reading it back over, I think I did manage to land in the ballpark, actually, so pretty proud of this scene as a whole, honestly.
Meme in question is here.
