Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. John 14:12
Consider Jesus Christ.  His was the greatest life that was lived on the earth. Everyone who has ever been called great pales by comparison to the greatness of Jesus. Greatness in God’s eyes has nothing to do with pomp or being famous in the world’s eyes or having a lot of money.  Being great in God’s sight is to do what God called you to do.  The only greatness in life is what is done for Christ, even in the midst of humble circumstances.
We cannot have greatness in ourselves, but only as God works through us.  We can do great things for God as we are led by Him.  Let the Holy Spirit work in you and lead you to do something great.  That’s the amazing thing about knowing Jesus Christ.  Every day you can do something great with Him and through Him.

I love seeing prayers and stories of devotees who worship Gods that I don’t worship.
Actually, I’ve always been like this.
I love hearing the tales of religions that I don’t subscribe to. Even if I don’t agree with every Christian, I do enjoy hearing Christians talk about how wonderful Jesus is and what he means to them personally.
I enjoy hearing Muslims talk about their prayers, how they reserve time out of their day for their God.
I enjoy hearing Jews sing their psalms, I love hearing about how they prepare their food, how they consider God’s hands in their meals.
I love hearing about Hellenic rituals and Semetic celebrations. I love learning about the different holy days among different groups of pagans.
I love learning how different people have incorporated different Gods, acts, and customs into their faith. I love hearing about their myths and legends, the stories they tell their children before bed.
I love hearing about the different ways that humanity has connected to their personal idea of God.
I don’t worship Apollon or Shiva today, but I am so delighted to hear the prayers of those that do. It’s like I’m getting to feel the mist erupting off of a waterfall. Or hearing the echo of a song that I do not know the lyrics to, but I can still hum the melody. I can feel the notes permeate my mind, even if I don’t know what they mean.
I love that there are people who worship these Gods that I do not worship. I’m happy that there is so much diversity among humanity that we have enough love in us for all of them.
For the ones that even I don’t know the names of, or felt the warmth of. Someone has.
That’s a very very good thing.

God, I love You and want to keep You first in my life. Show me how to better prioritize You and not take You for granted. Thank You for being with me and giving me strength. Free my heart from selfish motives as I choose to focus on You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏🏻

Freyja, I think about you every day.
When I wear rose quartz and amber,
When I read a beautiful and empowering post,
When I see a flower sprouting up between concrete slabs,
I see you in all things beautiful, seductive, and powerful.
I see you, Freyja, in the fight against injustice.
I see you in the light that shines through the glass of my front door causing rainbows.
I hear you in my favorite feminist songs like Delilah Bon’s music.
I love you Freyja. You are truly a blessing in my life.
Yours truly, Velvet Rose 🍓🪴🔮🧡🗡️✨🐈💗

Praise Jesus! Acts 3 “And his name—by faith in his name—has made this man strong” Jesus is amazing, and the miracles that He does here on earth never cease. When Jesus does a miracle, let us all witness it, and give praise to the source who is our God Jesus Christ. Let all of the glory go to Jesus Christ and the furtherance of the kingdom.
With that being said, be warned against guilt-based theology. Do not attribute all of the good things to God and all of the bad things to yourself. We are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God. Simply give the glory of the miracle to its author, Jesus. What miracles have you witnessed? Have you seen someone converted by a miracle?

I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague. He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart. Psalm 91:2-4
Assuredly no subtle plot shall succeed against the one who has the eyes of God watching for his defense, we are foolish and weak as poor little birds, and are very apt to be lured to our destruction by cunning foes, but if we dwell near to God, He will see to it that the most skillful deceiver shall not entrap us and no plague will come nigh our dwelling.

Special reminder that the most important step in devotion is thought.
THINK about your deities. Day dream about them. Imagine them. Ponder them!
Definitely learn everything you can, which offerings they prefer at which times, their sigils, symbols, etc. But it’s okay if you don’t have the means to do a huge ritual right now. It’s okay if you don’t have the time or energy. Daily devotion does not mean dedicating our lives to the idea of worshipping the Gods. It means keeping a special place in your mind and heart for them. The universe makes no distinction between thought and material, if you want to feel your God’s presence more in the material world, the very first step is to start THINKING about them. THINK about them and they will surely start to think about you.

We don’t share a friendship with God because of our “spiritual” bent of mind, our special ability to commune with Him, or our supposedly stellar moral track record. The simple truth is that God initiates a relationship with us. He does the reaching out. He pulls us out of the muck of our sin. He offers us grace. And He did all of that by sending Jesus to pay the price for our sin. If you and I long for intimacy with God, let’s begin by recognizing that, in His sovereign grace, He chose us and made Himself known to us.
