Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus. If you have any questions let me know

[@TheStreamingEnderman]

You find youself travelling in a deep-sea sub in the foreboding depths of the ocean. You hear nothing but the creaking of the metal frame and the deep choir of water that echoes around you. Then suddenly, you see something out of the corner of your eye...a whisp, a shadow, a spectre of the sea. It was only there for a split second before vanishing from view. You turn your sub, trying to spot it again, but it's nowhere to be seen. You shake this experience from your mind, continuing further into the abyss, into the void...where ominous entities dwell. You move further and further, deeper and deeper, until you see it. Thousands of feet below the surface of the sea, you see it. A ghostly orb of mist, an aparition of majesty and mystery, it floats...silent as the grave and graceful as a phantom. It hovers in front of you, moving it's arms ever so slowly, hypnotizing and terrifying you with it's ribbon-like appendages. It leaves you mystified, it is like a cosmic entity from a realm far away. In this moment you gain a new intelligence, an intelligence that procliams to you how little you know. How little you know of the world you live in, how little you know of worlds you have yet to explore. How little you know of the very fabric of reality. You then promise yourself there and then...that if you make it out of the deepest part of the world, you will one day travel to worlds beyond ours, planets high in the vastness of space. Planets that may contain creatures such as the oddity in front of you. You think of these things, while your eyes are serenaded with mystery and terror, as you are mystified by the haunting being you have the rare privilege of witnessing...deep within the depths.
