[dontgofarfromme]

Oh one of my other favourite bible references so far is Dulcie’s “Goodbye, Palamedes, my first strand--goodbye Camilla, my second...one cord was overpowered, two cords could defend themselves, but three were not broken by the living or the dead,” a riff on (or like tbh almost word for word quote of) Ecclesiastes 4:12 “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken,” (which is one of my favourite bible verses bc i’m a sucker for friendship or whatever). This bit also hit for me because it emphasizes that Dulcinea didnt only have her whole thing with Palamedes but also valued Camilla highly--the three of them were all so close, so its really sad how it all turned out.

#NO NONA SPOILERS PLZ #this whole little segment from ecclesiastes 4: 9-12 is my favourite tbh #its just! good!! #friends and shit!! #anyway when i read this the first time i was like oh memorizing obscure bible verses as a child did come in handy in this one specific way #my payment for the 20-odd years i spent learning this shit is additional context to the lesbian necromancer books #which maybe doesnt COMPENSATE for it but is a fun side effect to have anyway #harrow the ninth #the locked tomb #the locked tomb trilogy

9 Bahwa orang dua baik dari pada seorang orang, karena sedaplah bagi mereka itu hasil pekerjaannya. 10 Maka jikalau jatuh, seorang dapat membangkitkan seorangnya; tetapi wai bagi dia yang seorang orang sahaja apabila ia jatuh, karena tiada jodohnya akan membangkitkan dia pula. 11 Demikianpun jikalau dua orang berbaring bersama-sama, maka tubuh keduanya bersuhu adanya, tetapi ia yang seorang orang bagaimana gerangan diberinya bersuhu tubuhnya. 12 Maka jikalau kiranya seorang orang dapat dialahkan, dua orang akan berdiri tetap juga dan tali yang tiga lembar itu tak suang-suang putus.

9 Two are better off than one, because together they can work more effectively. 10 If one of them falls down, the other can help him up. But if someone is alone and falls, it's just too bad, because there is no one to help him. 11 If it is cold, two can sleep together and stay warm, but how can you keep warm by yourself? 12 Two people can resist an attack that would defeat one person alone.

Mini PAC - Their Feelings For You (Romance)

This is a mini-reading I did for you guys! If you want to know more and are willing to pay, hit me up!

You can always tip me! - paypal.me/sadwidow

If you want to support me, please reblog!

10% OFF FOR ALL READINGS THAT ARE ABOVE 15 CARDS (15$) - till the end of November

GROUPS 1 - 2 -3 4 - 5 - 6 7 - 8 - 9

Instruction: Think about your person while choosing a group. Do not use more than 2 groups for one person. Remember, this is only for entertainment purposes.

GROUP 1

Cards: Release Your Ex Reversed (the time has come to clear your energy), Express Your Love Reversed (go ahead and make the romantic gesture), Keep An Open Mind (your soul mate may differ from your usual type and expectations), Love Reversed, Blank Card, Sweetheart Reversed, Wedding Rings (Union, Wedding, Married, Soul Connection, Eternal Love, Everlasting Promise), Butterfly Reversed (Relationship Evolving to the Next Phase, Healing The Inner Child, Growth), Chaser Reversed (Chaser in Co-Dependent Relationship, Fear of Abandonment Issue).

Reading: I see that your person is currently either in a committed relationship or is about to get into a relationship with another person (or even a marriage situation) and is very unlikely to leave their current connection with their partner. I don't see them being interested in you in a romantic way (I'm not even sure if they had ever thought about you in a romantic way). They are currently in love with their partner and that is not going to change for a long time. However, with the Blank Card and Keep An Open Mind Card there is potential for the two of you to be together but not right now. It's better if you move on and don't expect much here.

GROUP 2

Cards: Wedding (this situation involves marriage), Retreat (it's time to disconnect from the world), Let Go Of Control Issues (allow this situation to unfold naturally), Sunglasses Reversed (Watching, Looking, Stalking, Gaslighting, Perception, Focusing Out), Heart With A Key Reversed (Welcoming Love, Meeting The One, Open Your Heart, Getting Together), Hand Of Cards in Horizontal Position (Take a Chance, Risk, Being Strategic, Options, Not Showing Hand), Ecclesiastic Reversed, Widower Reversed, Message.

Reading: This person is interested in you, that's for sure. They want to spend time with you and you only, no other people around. They're pretty stressed out about this situation, it's like their Heart and Throat Chakras are blocked. For now, they decided not to make any hasty actions toward you. They're waiting for the right time and also they want to see how your connection will unfold without romance involved. They do want to message you or contact you in any way they could but once again, they're restraining themselves. Maybe they're still healing a little from their previous relationship/situationship. They don't check out your social media and they avoid talking about you with others - they don't want to get too excited and take a risk. Their heart is still closed off and they're learning how to move on from past traumas.

GROUP 3

Cards: Religious Factors Reversed (your love life is influenced by your religious upbringing and spiritual path), Heart-To-Heart Conversations Reversed (honestly discuss your feelings with each other), Make The Effort Reversed (great love is worth taking the steps you're guided to take), Soulmates (Soul Connection, Partnership, Agreement, Soul Contract), Self-Indulgence (Focus on Self, Self-Worth, Time to Heal, Shadow Work), Sunglasses Reversed (Stalking, Watching, Looking), Lover, Fortune, Fidelity Reversed.

Reading: This person is interested in you sexually. They are not someone who likes committed relationships or being exclusive with people. They like to have their needs fulfilled but there's nothing beyond that. You guys could be great Friends With Benefits but other than that, I don't see them changing their mind any time soon (or even at all). You guys do have a connection (Soulmate Card) but not in a romantic sense. If you want to, you can tell this person that you want to be more than friends but be prepared for disappointment. It's not worth it to give your time to this person if you expect a relationship out of it.

GROUP 4

Cards: Stay Optimistic About Your Love Life Reversed (positive thinking and faith will bring you romance), Express Your Love Reversed (go ahead and make the romantic gesture), Reconciliation (someone from your past is returning to your life), Death, Marriage Reversed, Jealousy Reversed, Love (Affection, Attraction, Unconditional Love), Coffin Reversed (Endings, Growth, New Beginnings, Change, Liberation), Butterfly Reversed (Relationship Evolving to the Next Phase, Healing The Inner Child, Growth).

Reading: If you are asking about your former lover/your ex/your past situationship/past friendship then yes, they are coming back into your life. If not, then this reading is still for you. Not everything has ended between you guys but the reason for coming back to you is not a romantic offer, but a closure. You might be having some fun in the beginning, going on dates, having sex and spending time together but this connection will end. I'm not even seeing anything about staying friends or staying in touch - this is the last time you can say whatever you want to say.

GROUP 5

Cards: Enemy, Love, Loss, Snake (Competition, Enemy, Look Over Your Shoulder, The Other Woman, Malicious), Photograph (Missing You, Nostalgia, Make New Memories), Separation Reversed (Missing You, Sadness, Unsure of Future), Passion hidden under Separation Card (Insane Chemistry, Having Fun, Like Each Other Equally), Let Go Of Control Issues Reversed (allow this situation to unfold naturally), Forgiving And Learning Reversed (as you release and heal the past, you experience more love in your present moments), This Could Be The One Reversed (you've already met the romantic partner you seek).

Reading: Oh boy, this is a complicated one and I'd have to draw more cards to get a clearer picture but this is a mini-reading so I'll try to give you guys any information I could pick up from the cards I have currently. I feel like you've been friends with this person for a long time (or you just know each other for a long time) so it's fair to say you have some strong fundaments that you can build a relationship on. There is some strong chemistry there and they actually enjoy your company. Yes, they are interested in you but someone else appeared to be your competitor. I strongly sense feminine energy that is cunning, strong and manipulative. Your person can't decide which one of you will be a better option to date - they don't want to lose you so continuing your friendship is the safest bet. Your competitor also doesn't make things easier for you since they keep persuading and pressuring your person to choose them. This also could be their current lover/girlfriend in which your person isn't much interested.

GROUP 6

Cards: Ecclesiastic, Baby Reversed, Letter Reversed, The Swords And Rose (Clarity, Truth, Revelation, Solidarity, Honor, Protection), Healing Heart (Healing From Heartbreak, Freedom From Toxic Relationship/Addiction), Love Reversed (Unconditional Love, Self-Love, Attraction, Affection), Stay Optimistic About Your Love Life (positive thinking and faith will bring you romance), You Deserve Love (you are loveable), Religious Factors Reversed (your love life is influenced by your religious upbringing and spiritual path).

Reading: Very clear message: "You deserve love. It might not be me who will give you love but please don't think you are unloveable. Someone will love you but might not be me." They care about you deeply, just not in the way you want them to. They know you like (or love) them but they can't give you the same affection. You are dear to them and they care about your feelings, that's why they don't want to lead you on. They wish you found happiness and love you so clearly deserve; they will support you in any way they can. They will fight people who hurt you and they will always have your back. They want to stay in your life. You have to move on from them. Don't expect a sudden confession or a change in their feelings - it won't happen. You're not meant to be.

(Song for you: The Night We Met - Lord Huron and Last Chance (Alt Version) - CHPTRS)

GROUP 7

Cards: Journey, Money, Desire Reversed, The Swords And Rose (Clarity, Truth, Revelation, Solidarity, Honor, Protection), The Phoenix (New Phase, Rekindle, Growth, Changed Mind), Palm Tree (Stability, Security, Permanence, Endurance), Honeymoon (enjoy the bliss of holiday time together), Playfulness (to recapture romance, allow your inner youthful spirit of fun to shine), Reconciliation Reversed (someone from your past is returning to your life).

Reading: They feel safe with you, it's like you're home for them and their inner child can be at peace. Okay, I literally want to cry during this reading, my heart is so full of love and pain at the same time so I guess this is the same thing your person feels for you. I don't know what's going on but it's very loud so I'll say it: Enjoy the time with this person when you still can. Even if you're tired, go meet up. I feel like they will disappear from your life and they know it, that's why there's so much pain and I want to cry. I feel like they're going somewhere or maybe they're getting married? They are entering something or going somewhere that will make it impossible to be with you and they don't have any power over it. Maybe they have a kid on the way or there is an arranged marriage? I have no idea. Enjoy your time together while it lasts.

GROUP 8

Cards: Sweetheart, Hope Reversed, Malady Reversed, Paradise (Happiness, Expansion, Oneness, Enjoying Each Other), Date (Meeting Someone New, Set A Date, Dating), Photograph Reversed (Missing You, Nostalgia, Make New Memories), Romantic Feelings (your feelings are real and worth exploring), Give Your Relationship A Chance (work on your partnership), Religious Factors Reversed (your love life is influenced by your religious upbringing and spiritual path).

Reading: Are you already invested in each other? It seems like you either have a thing or are about to go on a date. Either way, they're quite happy with how things are turning out with you. They do have a romantic interest in you and they're willing to work on themselves if it means getting together with you. There's slight negativity here - as if they're expecting you to just dump them all of sudden or realize you don't like them anymore. Maybe they've been hurt before and they're ready for the worst possible scenario - please affirm that you like them because sometimes they doubt that you do.

(Song: Heather by Conan Gray)

GROUP 9

Cards: Money, Loss Reversed, Desire Reversed, Passion (allow your heart and soul to sing with joy), Past-Life Relationship Reversed (you have known each other before), True Love Reversed (this is the romance of a lifetime), Boat (Progressions, Receiving What You Need, Closure Issues), Cassette (Outdated Thinking, Over In Your Head, Replaying Events), Seduction Reversed (Attraction, Flirting, Temptation, Third-Party).

Reading: You are a temptation to them - something that is forbidden, yet they crave it. It's an animalistic urge to have you all to themselves - they don't like the person they are around you. They're either in a relationship or after a breakup. You might have had sexual intercourse but unfortunately, sex is all that exists between you. I see the want to possess you (in every meaning of the word) and the feeling is ugly. They are aware of how selfish they are with you. You also might be seducing them on purpose and trying to show them you want to have a relationship with them but, again, they become toxic around you.

Embracing the Fruit of the Spirit:

Cultivating Christlike Character

Introduction: Embark on a transformative journey through the fruit of the Spirit as we explore the qualities that reflect the character of Christ. Join us on this enriching exploration of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, and discover how they can shape our lives and relationships.

Scripture Passage: Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV) Cross References: John 15:1-17, Colossians 3:12-17, 2 Peter 1:5-8

Commentary: In Galatians 5, Paul lists the fruit of the Spirit as evidence of a life surrendered to Christ. These qualities—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—flow from a heart transformed by the Holy Spirit and reflect the character of Christ Himself.

In John 15, Jesus uses the analogy of the vine and branches to illustrate the importance of abiding in Him to bear fruit. He emphasizes the intimate connection between abiding in His love and producing fruit that glorifies the Father.

Colossians 3 calls believers to clothe themselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving as the Lord has forgiven us. These virtues are essential for maintaining unity in the body of Christ.

In 2 Peter 1, believers are encouraged to make every effort to add to their faith goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, mutual affection, and love. These qualities ensure that we will be effective and productive in our knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Broader Context:

Love:

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 - The characteristics of love as described by Paul.

John 13:34-35 - Jesus commands his disciples to love one another as He has loved them.

Peace:

Isaiah 26:3 - God promises perfect peace to those whose minds are steadfast.

Romans 5:1 - Through faith in Jesus, we have peace with God.

Philippians 4:6-7 - God's peace guards our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Patience:

Ecclesiastes 7:8 - Patience is better than pride.

Romans 12:12 - Believers are called to be patient in affliction.

James 5:7-8 - Be patient and stand firm, for the Lord's coming is near.

Kindness:

Ephesians 4:32 - Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other.

Proverbs 19:22 - What is desired in a man is kindness.

Colossians 3:12 - As God's chosen people, clothe yourselves with kindness.

Goodness:

Psalm 23:6 - Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.

Romans 12:21 - Overcome evil with good.

Titus 2:14 - Christ gave himself for us to redeem us and purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

Faithfulness:

1 Corinthians 4:2 - Faithfulness is required of stewards.

2 Timothy 2:13 - God remains faithful even when we are faithless.

Revelation 2:10 - Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor's crown.

Gentleness:

Proverbs 15:1 - A gentle answer turns away wrath.

Galatians 6:1 - Restore others gently when they are caught in sin.

1 Peter 3:15 - In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.

Self-Control:

Proverbs 25:28 - A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.

1 Corinthians 9:25 - Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.

Titus 2:11-12 - For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age.

Questions:

Which fruit of the Spirit do you find most challenging to cultivate in your life, and why?

In what ways can you abide more deeply in Christ to bear fruit that reflects His character?

How do the fruit of the Spirit impact your relationships with God and others?

What practical steps can you take to nurture the fruit of the Spirit in your daily life?

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit who produces fruit in our lives that reflects the character of Christ. Help us to cultivate these virtues daily, empowering us to love as you love, to bring joy wherever we go, and to walk in peace amidst life's storms. May our lives bear witness to your transformative power and bring glory to your name. Amen.

#Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

[vincentsims333]

Immerse yourselves, beloved readers, in the unfolding wisdom and divine perspective on timing, as illuminated by the Holy Scriptures. Take a journey through the pages of the Bible and uncover the countless verses that articulate the profound truth of God's impeccable timing. Discover why patience and faith are virtues exalted among believers as they navigate the ebb and flow of life's seasons, all within the grand tapestry of the Almighty's timeline.

The Bible, a treasure trove of spiritual insights, offers a myriad of instances that reassure us of God's sovereign timing. Ecclesiastes 3:1 declares, "To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven." This verse is just a glimpse into the overarching theme that God dictates the perfect timing for every event in our lives.

In the New Testament, Galatians 4:4 notes, "But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son," pointing to the fulfillment of prophecy at the designated time ordained by God Himself. Indeed, throughout salvation history, the theme of divine timing is indisputable and serves as a testament to God's wisdom and authority over the universe.

Moreover, 2 Peter 3:8-9 offers a perspective on God's concept of time that differs from our own: "But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." It further reassures us that God's delay is not due to neglect, but rather stems from His mercy, giving individuals the opportunity to come to repentance.

Embrace these biblical passages and many others that depict God's timing as a sacred dance of cosmic synchronization, meant for our ultimate good and orchestrated with unparalleled precision. Indeed, by understanding God’s perfect timing, we learn to trust in His plan, relinquish our own schedules, and walk in harmony with His divine rhythm.
