But shit is deeper...way deeper n complex than we could imagine because it's more about love than mind..
Love n forgiveness what a challenge..
It’s a challenge but it gets easier and easier as time goes by. God works with everybody has a different pace, some people understand right away and others have very hard time understanding because they don’t understand the context or they’ve been brainwashed by some religion.
God is love and God lives in you therefore you too are love. Life is challenging but you have already been saved and you already have a place in heaven in the book of the lamb. So you don’t need to fear a future of darkness, you already have 1 foot in heaven. We read in Galatians 5:22 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith”
Remember through trials we become stronger and more patient and more long-suffering, it is through the suffering that we gain the experience to help one another. But the suffering also allows us to Share in the sufferings of Jesus Christ bringing such beauty to our own suffering which seem like joys in comparison.
These qualities are aspects of God's character that we all have as Christian’s, Better known as the fruit of the Spirit.
