#relationship with the Lord

[cesslestial]

Our return is always a celebration to the Lord. 🤩❤️

SCRIPTURES: Luke 15: 17-24

17. ““When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!

18. I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

19. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’

20. So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

21. “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22. “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

23. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate.

24. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.”

REFLECTION 🌿

Isa sa mga pinaka sikat at magdang storya sa bibliya ang The Prodigal Son... maybe because marami sa atin ang nakaka relate dito. It's familiar, it is bitter and it is the truth.

Have you ever regret running away? Tapos nahihiya kang bumalik but you did it anyway? Today's scripture from the book of Luke is telling how the prodigal son returned to his father and how the father accepted the prodigal son....

Dito sa kwentong to, it shows how coming back is worth celebrating. Balik loob ika nga. Most of us, maraming beses na tayong nag back slide. Kilala na natin ang Panginoon, we were serving Him, pero eventually, because sa trap ng kaaway, we often times fall down and nakakalimutan natin ang Diyos. We are the prodigal son in this story. Ang titigas ng ulo natin, sinusunod natin yung gusto natin, ang rami nating gustong gawin na di naman dapat natin ginagawa... we try to control everything... we sought happiness and love in other things when in fact binigay na sa atin, di nga lang natin ma appreciate. Tulad ng prodigal son, ok na naman sana yung buhay niya, pero dahil sa tigas ng ulo, na temp ng kaaway, nadapa at nag dusa siya.

But despite being a foolish and stubborn son, mahal na mahal pa rin siya ng kanyang tatay at kahit na di pa siya nakaabot sa bahay nila, sinalubong siya ng kanyang tatay excitingly and pinag celebrate pa ang kanyang pagbabalik. And that's how God is to us! just like the father, our Father will celebrate our comeback.

Anu-ano nga ba ang dalang lessons ng kwentong ito?

Una, Luke 15:17 – “And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!”. Falling down will help us realize kung gaano kasarap ang manatili sa piling ni Lord. Sometimes, kailangan talaga nating magdusa in order for us to realize that it is better to be with the Father. Matigas ulo natin eh, kaya we learn it the hard way.

2nd, life humbles us down. Mismong buhay yung magpapa kita sa atin na dapat parati tayong magpakumbaba. The son learned it in a hard way. Dahil sa mga naranasan niyang paghihirap, narecognize niya yung mga kasalanan niya and he confessed his sins, Luke 15:18 – “I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee.” And because of this, nahiya siya, nagsisi siya and gusto niya itong pagbayaran through being his father's servant kaya sabi niya sa Luke 15:19 – “And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.”

Lastly, kahit gaano pa tayo kasama, our Father will always accept us sa oras na bumalik tayo sa kanya. Ganyan niya tayo kamahal. He celebrates our return!

MOTIVATION 🌿

Just come back to the Father. Ikaw lang yung hinihintay ni Lord. Your mistakes won't define you. As long as you humble yourself down, confess your trespasses, promise to change and never sin again.

Today, nireremind tayo ni Lord na anytime, we can come back. Kahit saan man tayong lugar mapunta, kahit kailan pa yan, basta.. God is just waiting.

APPLICATION 🌿

▫️now is the perfect time to return to the Lord's arms.

▫️be humble always.

▫️Know that our Father loves us so much.

▫️wag mahiya kay Lord.

Keeping Your Tank Full

The book of Psalms contains every strong emotion of human existence. Psalm 85:10 reminds us of the love of God for His people – a love that flows from an inexhaustible supply. Marriage is a picture of that love. Could it be that deep inside hurting couples exists an invisible “emotional love tank” with its gauge on empty? Could the misbehavior, withdrawal, harsh words, and critical spirit occur…

Yandere husband Thranduil (Romantic) x Reader wife pregnant for the second time x Yandere son Legolas (Platonic)

Very Thanks ♥︎

"I'm pregnant" you announce in a cheery tone to your son, Legolas, who is shocked by the news as he never expected to have a younger sibling.

Coming to think of it, he is already an adult, 2900+ years old to be exact, so it's indeed a shocker to him.

But it made him jealous at the idea of having a younger sibling which will take all of your attention.

He didn't expect to leave with the fellowship and return back to find you pregnant.

"Is there something wrong, my love?" you ask him, gently placing your hand on his cheek, while the other hand is placed on your bump.

"No, I'm extremely happy, and I can't wait for the baby to be born, Naneth (mother)"

You smile, pulling your son into a hug, causing him to hug you back.

°°°°°°°

"Can I know why you decided to impregnate Neneth when your marriage is on the edge of collapsing, father?"

Thranduil smiles at his furious son, as he descended down the stairs of his throne, holding a cup filled with the finest Elvish wine.

"War is over and the ring has been destroyed, what is a better way to fix our marriage than to have a child"

"So, you decided to trap her with you?"

Thranduil moves a strand of his son's hair behind his shoulder as he stares directly into his son's eyes, smirking.

"You wouldn't be standing right here now if I didn't use this technique on her the first time"

Growing up asexual is actually so funny because all of a sudden people all around are like ‘oh my god what if I don’t know how to kiss??? I have to practice!’ And start doing unhinged things and the whole time you’re like

Courting Chaos (to Balance)

A KlarionxDanny brain worm that has spawned

Tim Drake, aka Red Robin gets kidnapped suddenly and very randomly by Klarion in the middle of a JL and others meeting.

Leaving with a

"I'LL RETURN HIM WHEN HES NO LONGER USEFUL JUSTICE LOSERS!"

And fire and chaos in his wake.

While the JL, and others scramble to figure out what Klarion has planned this time, Tim manages to break free of whatever Klarion had used to kidnap him only to find himself on a couch and Klarion nervously petting Teekl on his lap while also sitting in a chair across from him.

When Tim goes to demand to know why Klarion kidnapped him Klarion finally speaks.

"Okay, I wanna strike a deal. I won't bug you or your little Young Just US buddies if you help me ask someone out..."

"...What the fuck Klarion?" Was Tim's only response.

-x-x-

So it turns out, every so often the three main entities and actual factions of Order, Chaos, and Balance get together to well discuss things happening in certain Realms, worlds, and timelines. Basicly to touch base, see where everyone was at. Etc etc.

Order was Order. Chaos was Chaos.

Very simple.

Both could be bad. To much order caused restraint and could snuff out growth. To much Chaos could get out of hand and cause ruin.

Both could be good. Order help stabilizes worlds and builds their future. Chaos allowed creativity to roam and brought forth wonderful things.

And Balance.

Well Balance was the very scales that kept both sides in check. They were neutral grounds. The ones that normally oversaw the meetings as well. And despite their low numbers they held powerful entities that more than made up for it.

Balance did their best to keep things in check, sure they do have their own preference sometimes and allowed the scales to tip a tiny bit but always corrected it later if it tips to much.

It was at this meeting, a meeting even Klarion knew better than to do anything too chaotic, pranks were fine but nothing too much, and had been chatting with a newcomer to the side of Chaos (Danielle, call me Ellie, Phantom. She did some heroing on the side but liked causing chaos in her wake to do so, he liked her so far though.) When the bells for the side of Balance to appear announced them.

Ellie had smiled brightly and said her brother was coming with his mentor, turns out her brother was apart of the Balance group which meant that he was strong, strong enough to need a mentor.

He watched as the members of Balance walked, teleported, flew, and other means into the meeting halls. And then froze when his eyes caught sight of him.

Floating next to a blue skined being that was switching ages was a beautiful otherworldly person.

Snow white hair that wisped upwards oh so softly. Glowing green eyes that were cat-like with their piercing glance. A galaxy cloak hanged around his shoulders and seemed to shift with each movement. Star like freckles decorated his face and seemed to glow a soft bluish white. A crown made of ice and aurora lights floated above his head as well.

All in all Klarion couldn't keep his eyes off of the being at all. He nearly spat his water out when Ellie commented that was her brother Danny, or rather.

High King of the Infinite Realms, Daniel 'Danny' Phantom. The Great One. Defeater of the Tyrant King. The Halfa. The Peaceful End. The Balance of the Undead. (And his mentor was the Ghost of Time itself. THE very Keeper of Time, Kronos original form himself.)

Klarion honestly didn't know what to think or rather what emotions he was feeling when he spotted Danny, nor why his face felt so hot and red when the young man looked over at them and smiled. (He was smiling at Ellie but Klarion for some reason hoped it was for him as well)

It wasn't until halfway in the meeting when a rather ingenious prank that Klarion, Ellie, and a few others had set up went off... thing was it strong enough that it had hit Danny's side of the meeting and had hit him.

Now, again pranks were okay but only after the meetings. It was one of the few rules many, even those in Chaos, took seriously because once it was done and over they could go do their things. So for it to happen in the middle of a meeting means someone set their time on the prank wrong and add the fact it hit a person on the Balance side...

Yeah not good.

Only...

Only instead of getting angry, even Clockwork who was seated next to Danny was chuckling, Danny threw his head back and laughed about it. And his laugh... was very cute.

And before he knew it, Klarion had already fallen.

-x-x-

"So yeah.... Since you have a boyfriend and know how to date in this modern age, I need your advice."

".... Klarion just because I'm dating Bernard doesn't mean I know how I did it..."

"Bernard? I thought you were dating that one Supes?"

The Source of All Things

If we look to a marriage partner to give us a sense of worth and to bring happiness, we are looking in the wrong direction. Many have expected a spouse to provide that which only God can give. Peace of mind, inner security, confidence, and a sense of joy do not come from marriage but from an intimate relationship with God. Psalm 77 is a personal expression of someone going through a major…

Dark Thranduil x Isekai! Reader

You stare at the elven king in shock and admiration as he slays down spiders, not knowing how you have gotten here in the first place and who are those people with pointed ears and tall figures.

One minute you were studying and the next you found yourself in a completely different place surrounded by dangerous large spiders.

"What is a human like yourself doing here in my realm?"

Thranduil asks, after he and his guards finish killing the last spider, giving him the opportunity to interrogate you.

"I just found myself here" you reply softly, deciding to tell him the truth.

"You found yourself here, interesting."

His cold tone made you shrink back on yourself in the fear of angering him.

"I apologise if I transpassed your property, I got lost and I-"

You squeal as Thranduil grabs your arm and begins dragging you with him towards his elk before trying to force you on top of it.

"Where are you taking me, stop!" you say, trying to make him to let go of your arm.

"You are coming with me, we have so much to discuss."

Thranduil finally manages to get you on top of the graceful animal, before riding behind you and grabbing the reins.

Little do you know that you resemble his late wife in appearance, and even personality.

He can't wait to show you to Legolas.
