Salvation by Faith in God
8 You were saved by faith in God, who treats us much better than we deserve. This is God's gift to you, and not anything you have done on your own. 9 It isn't something you have earned, so there is nothing you can brag about. 10 God planned for us to do good things and to live as he has always wanted us to live. This is why he sent Christ to make us what we are. — Ephesians 2:8-10 | Contemporary English Version (CEV) Holy Bible, Contemporary English Version Copyright © 1995 by American Bible Society. Cross References: Psalm 51:10; Isaiah 19:25; Isaiah 29:23; Isaiah 43:7; John 4:10; Acts 15:11; Romans 3:24; Romans 3:28; Romans 9:16; 1 Corinthians 1:29; Galatians 6:15; 2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 3:5

‭‭Psalm 139:14 (NASB2020‬‬). “I will give thanks to You, because I am awesomely and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.”
Ephesians 2:10 (AMP). “For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].”
“On Glorious Display” by In Touch Ministries:
“Our Creator lovingly crafted each of us into a masterpiece to reveal His glorious love.”
“Did you ever study Vincent van Gogh’s famous painting “The Starry Night”? It’s a captivating blend of circles and swirls that form a dreamlike sky. On one level, it’s intriguing to picture yourself in the scene and imagine the vivid sights and gentle breeze implied by the curling forms. But if you look more closely, you’ll begin to see nothing about the painting is haphazard. Every stroke of blue, yellow, green, white, and purple is unique and intentional, creating contrast between sky and stars. The combination of colors brings depth and richness to the composition, and each hue is enriched because it exists in harmony with those around it.
As beautiful as van Gogh’s masterwork might be, it pales in comparison to what the Creator has accomplished in us, His beloved children. We believers are each a unique blend of personality, gifts, and experiences that God has mixed together and continually applies so we simultaneously enhance and are enhanced by those around us.
What an honor it is to be God’s handiwork! While every Christian is a small piece of the whole of creation, we never lose our distinctiveness or get lost in the grandeur of the big picture. Quite the contrary—God knows exactly where we are and keeps us in mind as He adds others to His magnum opus.”

~0~ Psalm 19:1 ~0~
hewo :) I'm disneynerdpumpkin! 🎃💜 I'm a made new child of the King & I love Jesus! I am a Christian Tumblr blog.
I'm also a fangirl; I love Disney, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Disney Pinocchio, Winnie the Pooh, Gravity Falls, Wish, etc. etc. etc. etc.! I'm multifandom (but mostly Disney)
Check out my blog for fandom/fangirling content, scriptures, Christian content, and just overall wholesome content :D
Remember that God loves you and He has a wonderful plan for your life! Jeremiah 29:11 "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.'"
Ephesians 2:10 "For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago."
Here are some rules for my blog:
Please, no inappropriate asks. Ty :) (any inappropriate asks will be deleted and blocked and ignored) (NSFW blogs, please do not interact)
You can repost my stuff, but please just don't deliberately claim anything as your own
Have fun (obviously)
I want to make it absolutely clear that even though I'm a fangirl, JESUS is my #1 priority; NOT my fandoms.
Proverbs 4:23-27 "Carefully guard your thoughts because they are the source of true life. Never tell lies or be deceitful in what you say. Keep looking straight ahead, without turning aside. Know where you are headed, and you will stay on solid ground. Don't make a mistake by turning to the right or the left."

A Trinitarian Conviction for Human Dignity
The Church proclaims the equal dignity of all people, regardless of their living conditions or qualities. This proclamation rests on a threefold conviction, which —in light of the Christian faith— gives human dignity an immeasurable value and reinforces its intrinsic demands. The Indelible Image of God The first conviction, drawn from Revelation, holds that the dignity of the human person comes from the love of the Creator, who has imprinted the indelible features of His Image on every person (cf. Gen. 1:26). The Creator calls each person to know Him, to love Him, and to live in covenantal relationship with Him; while calling the person also to live in fraternity, justice, and peace with all others. In this perspective, dignity refers not only to the soul but also to the person as an inseparable unity of body and soul. Accordingly, dignity is also inherent in each person's body, which participates in its own way in being in imago Dei (in the Image of God) and is also called to share the soul's glory in the divine beatitude. Christ Elevates Human Dignity The second conviction follows from the fact that the dignity of the human person was revealed in its fullness when the Father sent His Son, who assumed human existence to the full: "In the mystery of the Incarnation, the Son of God confirmed the dignity of the body and soul which constitute the human being" [Dignitas Personae, §7]. By uniting Himself with every human being through His Incarnation, Jesus Christ confirmed that each person possesses an immeasurable dignity simply by belonging to the human community; moreover, He affirmed that this dignity can never be lost. By proclaiming that the Kingdom of God belongs to the poor, the humble, the despised, and those who suffer in body and spirit; by healing all sorts of illnesses and infirmities, even the most dramatic ones, such as leprosy; by affirming that whatever is done to these individuals is also done to him because he is present in them: in all these ways, Jesus brought the great novelty of recognizing the dignity of every person, especially those who were considered "unworthy." This new principle in human history —which emphasizes that individuals are even more "worthy" of our respect and love when they are weak, scorned, or suffering, even to the point of losing the human "figure"— has changed the face of the world. It has given life to institutions that take care of those who find themselves in disadvantaged conditions, such as abandoned infants, orphans, the elderly who are left without assistance, the mentally ill, people with incurable diseases or severe deformities, and those living on the streets. A Vocation to the Fullness of Dignity The third conviction concerns the ultimate destiny of human beings. After the Creation and the Incarnation, Christ's Resurrection reveals a further aspect of human dignity. Indeed, "the dignity of this life is linked not only to its beginning, to the fact that it comes from God, but also to its final end, to its destiny of fellowship with God in knowledge and love of Him. In light of this truth, Saint Irenaeus qualifies and completes his praise of man: 'the glory of God' is indeed 'man, living man,' but 'the life of man consists in the vision of God' [Evangelium Vitae, §38b]. Consequently, the Church believes and affirms that all human beings —created in the Image and likeness of God and recreated in the Son, who became Man, was crucified, and rose again— are called to grow under the action of the Holy Spirit to reflect the glory of the Father in that same image and to share in eternal life (cf. Jn. 10:15-16, 17:22-24; 2 Cor. 3:18; Eph. 1:3-14). Indeed, "Revelation . . . shows forth the dignity of the human person in all its fullness."
- Dignitas infinita, or "On Human Dignity" (§17-21)

Gratitude is not only our shield, but it’s also our sword. And there isn’t a more effective sword against the darkness of negativity than the (S)Word of God!

There is Love
“I have seen the truth. It is not as though I had invented it with my mind. I have seen it, seen it, and the living image of it has filled my soul forever …In one day, one hour, everything could be arranged as one. The chief thing is to love.” ~ Fyodor Dostoevsky For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that…
