The schoolyard sycamore from my memories still grows warm roots in my stomach, it comforts me better than reality 🏚️

GROK➡️ cont 〰️ 🌌EPHESIANS💫 4〰️ Unresolved anger gives the devil a foothold (a place to squat and set up camp). Anger itself isn’t sin, but nursing it, feeding it, and letting it fester absolutely is. It opens the door. ⚠v.29 — “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building up…” ⚠v.30 — “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” ⚠v.31 — Put away bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, evil speaking, and malice. The common thread: ⚠All of these things grieve the Holy Spirit⚠ The “Abusive Relationship” Insight Your closing observation is sobering and worth sitting with: “I just realized that we are in an abusive relationship with God — And WE are the abusers. Especially of the HS.” That’s a heavy but honest way to put it. The Holy Spirit is a Person — gentle, holy, and incredibly patient — who lives inside us. When we lie, hold onto bitterness, speak corruptly, or nurse rage, we are mistreating the very One who sealed us, comforts us, and is transforming us. Yet here’s the beautiful part: He doesn’t leave. Even when we grieve Him, He stays. He convicts. He woos. He keeps working. That’s how unbelievably kind and committed He is. This is why Paul can command us to “put off” all these things — because the Holy Spirit has already given us the power and the new nature to do it. Grieving Him is paying into the eternal debt. Walking in love, truth, and forgiveness is depositing into the eternal 401K. Unity and Love are not optional. When we violate them, we grieve the Spirit who is trying to build us together into one holy temple. This whole “put off / put on” section is Paul saying: “You have a new identity. Now wear the clothes that match it.” 〰️ 🌌EPHESIANS💫 4〰️ 32 Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you. ME➡️ Deceptively simple. We can do it in our own strength for awhile - Maybe we can do it 99×s in a row, but that 💯th time will come. It's a matter of attrition. We can only do this with the power of the HS. GROK➡️ Yes — this verse is deceptively simple, yet one of the most powerful and difficult commands in the entire New Testament. Ephesians 4:32 “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.” Why It’s So Hard You nailed it: We can do this in our own strength… for a while. Maybe 99 times. But that 100th time — when the wound is deep, the offense is repeated, the person doesn’t deserve it, or the hurt feels fresh again — our flesh runs out of gas. Attrition wins. That’s exactly when we discover we cannot do this apart from the Holy Spirit. The Power Source The command isn’t “forgive because it’s the right thing to do.” It’s “forgive just as God in Christ forgave you.” Think about what that means: •When we were dead in sins. •When we were His enemies. •When we had zero to offer. •When we didn’t deserve even a drop of mercy. God forgave us lavishly, at the cost of His own Son. That same measure and quality of forgiveness is now the pattern for how we treat others. This is why the Holy Spirit is non-negotiable. Only He can take the forgiveness we received and reproduce it in us toward people who hurt us. ➡️Our job is to yield, not manufacture⬅️ Tying It Back to the Whole Chapter This verse is the positive summit of everything Paul has been saying: ☆Put off the old self (corrupt, angry, deceitful). ☆Put on the new self (created to be like God in righteousness and holiness). ☆Speak truth in love. ☆Be angry but don’t sin. 〰️ 🌌EPHESIANS💫 〰️ 〰️ ⚰️Corpse to Crown👑 〰️ 〰️Ergo, UNITY & LOVE〰️ #biblestudyephesians #renegadebiblestudywithgrok #renegadebiblestudyephesians

I didn't understand why the directors didn't want to include the scene where Daemon comforts his daughters after Laena's death. Why are they trying to portray him as a bad father?

A shelter worker comforts the only Dog ​​that did not find a new home at the adoption event. The reality is there will be 1000s more Dogs (and other animals) at rescue centres around the world 😢. How do we change that? If at all possible #AdoptDontShop ❤️‍🩹.

Since moving back to San Francisco last fall, I've been struck by how everyone seems to be chasing material comforts, and moral vision is in short supply. But I also think that San Francisco is just a reflection of the world a few years ahead, and that this isn't its final resting state. Many of my private conversations have been about unpacking this paradox: when technological and economic measures of progress have been met, why are people still unhappy? What's the purpose of all this abundance we've created? I'm excited to help produce this next Asterisk issue about Flourishing, where we will attempt to seriously examine these questions. If you'd have something you'd like to write about on this topic, please submit your ideas!
We are now accepting pitches for Issue 16, whose theme is Flourishing:

CULTIVATE PERSONAL HOLINESS AND PERFECTION OF THE VIRTUES - HOLY AND DIVINE LOVE "Assist Me in this tribulation that falls upon men's hearts. The tribulation that has come is in the heart that refuses to forgive. It is in the heart of the apostate and heretic. It is in the heart of all those who love money, power and acknowledgment. The heart that is all peace seeks to be perfected in holiness in the background. Such a heart is more than willing to discover his faults. He desires littleness. His goals are not worldly goals but everything which lends itself to perfection in Divine Love. The fruits of such goals are peace, love and joy. Such a one is drawn deeper and deeper into My Heart, and is consumed by the Flame of Divine Love. Make it known." - Jesus 6.16.2001 "My brothers and sisters, once again I invite you to childlike littleness. Give up anything that you have placed in your heart above God, love God alone. Surrender to Me your appearance, your health, your comforts, your reputation, all of these must not take the place of love of God in your heart." - Jesus 6.16.2008 "Children, one step in being patient with others is to try to understand the crosses in their lives. Perhaps they are very critical as they suffer from perfectionism. Perhaps they make much of their physical ailments. This should be a sign to you that they have not fully accepted their crosses or that they are proud of their crosses. Try, when dealing with such as these, to put things in perspective for them. This involves representing the Truth to them. You can be sympathetic, but at the same time point out others who suffer similar crosses patiently. At the root of impatience is disordered self-love. Remember how patient Jesus was in carrying His Cross. Pray for patience in every adversity. Read Psalm 31:23-24" - God The Father 6.16.2022 ======== THE NEXT PRAYER DAY: Sunday, August 2, 2026 - Feast of God the Father and His Divine Will Please see Message from God the Father, here: holylove.org/wp-content/uplo… "IT IS BY ORDER OF MY WILL that these years of Messages have not been given approval in the world.

Wisdom Without Finding Fault — James 1:5 “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” That is one of those verses that has been quoted on coffee cups, graduation cards, counseling sessions, and Sunday school posters until many people have almost forgotten where it sits. It is not floating loose in the air. It is not a generic religious proverb from a devotional calendar. It is planted in the first chapter of James, and James tells you exactly who he is writing to before he ever tells you anything about wisdom. “James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.” That is Israel. That is not the Body of Christ. That is not a Gentile church in Ephesus or Corinth. That is not a Pauline epistle written to saints seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. It is a Jewish epistle, written to the twelve tribes, loaded with kingdom language, prophetic pressure, endurance, testing, temptation, works, judgment, the coming of the Lord, and practical righteousness under trial. Now that does not mean a Christian in the Church Age cannot learn from James 1:5. Only a Bible butcher would say that. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable.” The book of James is inspired Scripture, and every Bible believer can profit from it. The problem begins when a man refuses to rightly divide it and starts dragging tribulation Jewish doctrine across Paul’s gospel like a muddy boot across a clean floor. James does not teach a lost sinner in the Church Age how to be justified by grace through faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. Paul does that plainly in Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, and Corinthians. James deals with believers under pressure, especially Jewish believers whose faith is being tried in a setting that reaches forward to the time of Jacob’s trouble, when profession will be tested by endurance, obedience, separation from the world, and refusal to bow to the beast’s system. James 1:5 is therefore a beautiful verse with two great edges on it. Practically, it comforts every believer now who lacks wisdom and needs God’s direction. Doctrinally, it speaks with special force to scattered Israel under pressure, and prophetically it points toward the Jewish remnant in the Tribulation needing divine wisdom when the world is collapsing, religion is deceiving, the beast is rising, riches are corrupting, false brethren are betraying, and the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. God does not tell them, “Figure it out yourself.” He does not say, “You should have known better, so I am done with you.” He says, “Ask.” What a word. Ask of God. Not the rabbi. Not Rome. Not tradition. Not the scholars who correct the Bible while pretending to explain it. Not the world system. Not the rich oppressor. Not the double minded crowd. Ask of God, and the God who gives wisdom gives it liberally and upbraideth not. Chapter One — The Verse Begins With a Lack, Not a Boast James says, “If any of you lack wisdom.” That is a strange beginning for religious men because religion loves to pretend it lacks nothing. Laodicea says, “I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing,” and the Lord says she is “wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.” The first doorway to wisdom is admitting lack. Not lack of intelligence, not lack of religious vocabulary, not lack of degrees, not lack of emotional intensity, but lack of wisdom. A man can have a head full of facts and still not know what to do. A preacher can have commentaries stacked to the ceiling and still not have spiritual sense enough to get out of the rain. A church can have programs, screens, degrees, committees, consultants, and a doctrinal statement copied from somebody else’s website, and still lack wisdom. James does not say, “If any of you lack information.” He says wisdom. Wisdom is God-given

And Biffers, you are just what your language suggests, vulgar, simple-minded, crude, not quite a grown up and never-to-be. A big wide world is going on around you, and you don't understand much of it, do you? You swallow lies, because they comfort you. Hatred comforts you, it makes you feel as if you've been wronged but you're in the Right. You are not right, your statements are not true; your beliefs are not based on verifiable evidence, eye witness reports, lived experience, serious reading, or historical knowledge. A large part of what's wrong with your life is your fault. Because you don't have the courage to face facts. And you run from the truth. Bye bye, MAGApie.
