ā€œArt is not a religionā€”it is religion. It is the glorification of gifts given to us by God, and to share these gifts is a form of ministry. It is not the only obligation we have, of course, but it is a vocation that is infused with Spirit. All people are chosen to honor and to glorify God in some way, and artists are chosen to share what they can and what they must through their particular art. I never forgot a scripture that seared through me in childhood: ā€˜Glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are Godā€™s.ā€™ That changed me forever.ā€
ā€”Martha Graham/Interview with James Grissom/The scripture is 1 Corinthians 6:20/

The Tree of Divine Love
ā€œIt is very difficult to describe love in words. It is like trying to describe honey to someone who has never tasted or even seen honey, who doesnā€™t know what honey is. Love is to see what is good and beautiful in everything. It is to learn from everything, to see the gifts of God and the generosity of God in everything. It is to be thankful for all Godā€™s bounties. This is the first step on the road to the love of God. This is just a seed of love. In time, the seed will grow and become a tree and bear fruit. Then, whoever tastes of that fruit will know what real love is.ā€

Hi, I would love to share with you a poem I wrote today (11th May 2023). It's called ā€Heaven's roadā€. In another post, I will share with you the Bible verses that I used while writing this poem. Enjoy the reading :)
Heaven's road
Walk in the righteousness with Almighty
Try, give it a chance ā€” change your clothes into new garments
The garments that please God without any doubts
What does please God? Being obedient, having it in the heart of yours ā€” forgiveness and love
That cannot be overcomed with the power of the Holy Spirit
Who constantly reminds us about the God Almighty's will
Do not judge so you won't be judged
Don't let yourself pay too much attention to your brothers' speck of sawdust
Instead, pay attention to the plank in your own eye
Then you will be able to help your brother with the issue he has
Ask the Lord to give you what you lack and you'll receive it
For He doesn't make the promises He doesn't keep
He said that if we ask, He will give it to us
He told us that if we seek, we will find it so don't have doubts
If we knock on the door, He will open them for you and me
All we need is faith as big as mustard seed to believe how Faithful He is
Be with God for if you're with our Creator you're not against Him
Be sure you not commit the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit
For whatever you do will be forgiven but not this one sin
Speaking against the Holy Spirit will stay as your sin for eternity
Listen to His words carefully and remember them
Don't let them be stolen from your mind by the enemy
Be just like the seed that fell on the good soil and produced a great crop
Be just like the sheep that knows the Good Shepherd's voice
Be obedient to the will of His and go wherever He wants you to go
Just trust Him that He will lead you to the Heaven's road
Ask Him for His grace to be born again in Christ
For He is the only One Who can give you that
Believe that He says Who He is and that every commandment of His is good
Leave everything at His Mighty Hands and say ā€Lord, I surrender to You"
Put your faith and trust in Him for He knows what's needed the most for you
He will take care of everything, never leave nor forsake you
For He is the One that goes before you and always makes a way
Trust in Him and believe how the miracles unfold
Know that He's the Way, Truth and Life, He is the Lord of Lords
He deserves His throne for He's our King Who saved us from eternal punishment
For His Goodness, Peace and Love let's give Him praise

Unstoppable villain, meet immovable agent of friendship!
I was wondering in what circumstances Charlie would just OFFER her soul to Al.
And he would short circuit as all his manipulation plans become unnecessary.
Cause Charlie cares about her friends and if they need help she wonā€™t hesitate.

god. Vivienne really is just. that character. She is taken to the circle so young she does not remember what her parents even looked like and someone had to tell her. She wouldnā€™t even know if they were telling the truth. She is ruthless, the terror and nightmare of the Orlesian court. She almost weeps when you find the Tranquil skulls in Redcliffe. She hates drop waists. She is harrowed younger than any other mage in living memory. She teaches Bull the steps to the dance of the six candles. He likens her to a Qunari dreadnought that has half the enemies on the ground before heā€™s even reached the front line. Her accentā€™s not Orlesian. No Free Marcher can tell where she is from either. Is her original voice another part of herself she cut off? She enchanted a duke within one meeting and they scandalised even Orlesian society. She was good friends with his wife. They possibly fucked too. No can control her. Sheā€™s been owned since the moment she was first brought to the Circle. She belongs to no people. There are a dozen leashes around her neck claiming otherwise. She makes fun of an elven god for setting his coattails on fire.Ā  She is on the verge of banishing Cole back to the Fade all the time. She canā€™t help but grow to care for him at the end despite her best efforts to pretend otherwise. She hates herself for it. She thinks caring makes you weak. During the first conversation you have with her unmasked as a Trevelyan, she begs to know if you also cared about her childhood friend, Lydia. She tries to import illegal fur into Skyhold. Did she kill everything soft within her soul herself or did the Chantry sisters do it for her? She is impossible to prank. Some might say sheā€™s even better than Sera at pranking. She was pulled into the game by the time she was nineteen. Sheā€™d faced worse things since she could first remember her dreams. Life has never been fair. One merely needs to be hard enough to survive. The blade at her neck when she lay on the floor of the harrowing chamber was no different from the hunger in her belly as child, a necessary pain that only drove her forward. Maker, was there ever any chance that she did not see cruelty as simply another word for life? Is there any version of her that does not end up surrounded by moral filth?Ā

wait holy shit dude you think being horny is a biological thing? oh my god thatā€™s been disproven for years [pulls out my phone to read wikipedia to you] ā€œsexual arousal (also known as sexual excitement) describes the psychokinetic response to leylines intersecting over areas of the brain dedicated to conceptualizing fearā€

Not to be absolutely unhinged but I think that if I buy enough tiny plastic tubs to continue breaking down every possession I own into discrete categories then eventually I will live in a home where I don't constantly have a large pile of completely miscellaneous nicknacks in the middle of the floor constantly and forever until I die

The energies hidden within God were sevenfold... These sevenfold spirits are those sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, understanding, counsel, knowledge, fortitude, piety and fear of the Lord. They are also the seven pillars of Wisdom's temple.
