I’m not even going to call you by your real name because you don’t deserve that kind of presence in my words. But, I bet you’re expecting a round of applause from me right about now, aren’t you? I bet you’re expecting me to say things like, “Bravo” and “Wow. You’ve really done it. You’ve won.” You think you’ve got our world in a vice grip and you won’t let go. You think you’ve finally conquered over any sense of hope left in the world, completely eradicated any shred of humanity. You’re probably jumping for joy at the disarray and catastrophes you’ve created. And I’ll admit I can understand how you think those things.
To your eyes it’s clear as day: you’re winning. You’re thinking, “I’ve created dissension in them. I’ve built up prejudices and hate so much so they will never be able to love one another again. I’ve caused them to react with violence and murder, and there’s no going back.” But I’m going to let you in on a little secret: you were NEVER winning and you NEVER will. Your end game from the beginning has always been doom. Your end game has always been destruction and death and hell, all the things you try and push onto us. In the end, YOU LOSE. No matter how much darkness you try and push onto us, light always overcomes. ALWAYS. And the more you try and destroy us, the more you draw us closer together. The more hate you spread, the more love we pour out. I’m going to say this and I want you to hear it: YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER US. Let me repeat so you fully understand: YOU. HAVE. NO. POWER. OVER. US. You see, you’re sly and cunning and manipulative. You spread fear and hate and you live off of death. You revel in it. But you are WORTHLESS. You are DISGUSTING. And you ultimately are powerless because there is someone that you hate even more than you hate us. Someone who has the power to destroy you with a blink of an eye. Someone who WILL win in the end. His name is JESUS CHRIST. And He is the complete opposite of you. He is LOVE. He is HOPE. He is JUSTICE. All of the things you despise, He is. You see, the world was never created for your kind of lifestyle. Your treachery, your murder, your diseases, and your heartbreak. It was created for YOUR DEMISE. It was created for joy and peace and community and hope and LOVE. Those are the things we were made for and nothing you can do can stop those things from leaving us. Oh yes, you can definitely scare us, but you cannot take away our JOY or our LOVE or our HOPE that there is more good in this world than evil. Goodness and love and mercy and grace will always outshine hate and sin and destruction. You can’t touch those things because Jesus is the one who holds them in His hands, and because of this YOU CANNOT TOUCH US. You will NEVER overcome us because we have a power and a source of light that you cannot even fathom. You cannot even look at Jesus Christ because if you did you would run for the hills like the coward you are. You are scum. You are despicable. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE POWER OVER US. Because we are the children of the ONE TRUE GOD. Enjoy what you think is a rush of victory, because in the end, YOU LOSE, and God’s Kingdom will reign forever. Love, A Daughter of the Most High King "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." ~ Romans 8:18

At the beginning of last year I asked God to give me a word that He wanted me to focus on in 2015. He gave me the word "grow" & looking back, so much grace & growth happened to me in 2015. I learned to literally rely on God for my provision. I learned when someone you love loses someone to be there for them. I learned what it looks like to really be in love. I learned to take action with my creativity. I learned that I love to dance & frolic ALOT. And I learned it's ok to not be perfect (a hard one I'm still swallowing.) 2015 was full of challenges, hardships, and one of the most beautiful moments of my life. {Note Oct 12th <3} This past year I did a video project where I filmed one second of every single day. Because I think it's important to remember the everyday moments just as much as the big mountain top moments. 2015 was filled with both. Enjoy watching & happy 2016 loves! |
