#one time my mom told me that she hoped that judas iscariot did repent before he died. she has this deep deep desire #that everyone who thinks they're beyond hope can understand and reach for God's love and mercy before it's too late #which some people could probably interpret as wishful thinking #re: judas and what is traditionally believed of him. as well as the people who reject the Gospel very energetically #but after seeing her grandfather and father (adamant atheists who ridiculed her for her faith) believe in and accept Jesus as their #saviour right before both of them passed away i think she has so much love for people who think they're beyond forgiveness #anyway she mentioned it once and she nearly cried because the idea of someone being in that much despair and guilt hurt her a lot #she's a teacher who's currently dealing with the fallout of a recent suicide that's been affecting her students #and a mother and aunt. and someone who was and is mentoring broken-hearted kids who can't see light in their life #she imagined what kind of welcome judas might have in heaven if he repented before he died and what kind #anyway i don't know what the point of this post was but i still think of this
