#sun of righteousness

[wiirocku]

Malachi 4:2 (NLT) - “But for you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.

[wisdomfish]

The sun is spoken of as an angel with healing in its wings. You may not be aware that persons who live in a room which opens only to the north, are more in danger of sickness than if they lived in a room which faced the opposite point of the compass. Statistics tell us that the un-sunned rooms of a barracks or hospital are much less healthful than those parts on which the sun shines through the day. It is said that the absence of the direct rays of the sun increases the mortality twenty percent, as compared with the places on which it shines continually. The sun is our best doctor and sunshine is our cheapest and most efficient physic. Narrow streets, blind alleys, and back slums in which the rays of the sun never shine are a disgrace to our humanity. In such places you see, like as you see in that part of your garden on which the sun does not shine, stunted and diseased human plants. If you give the people wide streets and good houses, and provide three times the number of gaslights at night, you will have a more healthful and a more holy city than we have just now. The sun shines away disease, and a powerful light scares away sin. ~ W. Birch

We can Experience and Enjoy Christ as the Great Light until we Shine like the Sun

As believers in Christ, we can experience and enjoy Christ as the great light shining in the darkness until we shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of our Father! Amen! Christ is the great light shining on those sitting in darkness and rising on those sitting in the region and shadow of death; we need to experience and enjoy Christ as the great light shining in us and on us so that we may go…

The Light of God

I’ve been tracing themes through scripture as part of my devotional time – exploring how God masterfully weaves His great story together. Today, I’m looking at the Light of God. Creation: Genesis 1:2a NLT: The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. Genesis 1:3 NLT: Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. Genesis 1:4b NLT: Then he separated the…

i haven't told anyone this. i read your poem and it really hit me. i'm also in the process of converting to judaism. i've been going to temple since i was a teenager. i live in a small community in the bible belt of the US, so my synagogue is the only one for miles and miles around. i've been trying to convert for years - the only thing in the way has been money for classes. my rabbi, i discovered, is a zionist, and i can't bear to be anywhere near her after hearing what she's said about palestinians. i feel so angry. i feel so very angry. she's the only thing standing in the way between me and finally becoming jewish, even though i've been trying to live a very jewish life for years. i've been trying for so long. she's supposed to be an authority, but turns her back on those suffering for the sake of blind nationalism. i feel so estranged from the community i grew up in. i don't think at this rate i'll be able to convert, even though i'm so, so close to finishing up. i just can't bear to give her my money. i don't know what to do. i don't know where i was going with this. just that i hope you know you're not alone.

💙 thank you for trusting me with your experience. you are not alone either beloved. a dear friend of mine told me "i think you are embodying a lot of jewish values by choosing to stand against this and wait indefinitely. it will just be that much sweeter when you get there with your head held high." hearing that was really comforting and i hope that it comforts you too. we will build the world to come with our own hands and it will be one in which palestine is free and there is no more compromise between religion and nationalism's atrocities. insha2all_h and b"h you and i will sit next to each other in service and share a meal together in that world. shabbat shalom.

ASAGAI: And perhaps...perhaps I will be a great man...I mean perhaps I will hold on to the substance of truth and find my way always with the right course...and perhaps for it I will be butchered in my bed some night by the servants of empire...

BENEATHA: The martyr!

ASAGAI (He smiles): ...or perhaps I shall live to be a very old man, respected and esteemed in my new nation... And perhaps I shall hold office and this is what I’m trying to tell you, Alaiyo: Perhaps the things I believe now for my country will be wrong and outmoded, and I will not understand and do terrible things to have things my way or merely to keep my power. Don’t you see that there will be young men and women—not British soldiers then, but my own black countrymen—to step out of the shadows some evening and slit my then useless throat? Don’t you see they have always been there...that they always will be. And that such a thing as my own death will be an advance? They who might kill me even...actually replenish all that I was.

remember Jesus wept with Mary and Martha even though he knew Lazarus was about to be resurrected, but they didn't. grief is hard and horrible but this too shall pass. joy will come in the morning, though the night is long and dark. the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. take courage, because Christ has overcome the world.

Y'all, I'm thinking about Phoenix Wright again, someone stop me.

Anyway, you ever think about how Phoenix loves people?

Phoenix didn't climb Miles' walls or bring the walls down gradually with nothing but kindness. He beat the walls down with his bare fists, bloody knuckles, and heart on his sleeve because he knew that little boy that he once knew was still in there.

Phoenix /is/ nice. He's sassy and snarky and will roast anyone within an inch of their life, even if he's very close with them. But he also loves so righteously that he'll destroy himself because of it.

And Feenie is such a pure example of that. In that case, his love was misplaced, but he still wore it like a badge of fuckin honor and was fully prepared to lose his life for it. If they'd ever met, Bratworth wouldn't have stood a chance against that little dumbass and his pink sweater.

People joke about how, haha Phoenix changed the course of his life because gay, which like... yeah. But I never see enough people acknowledge that it wasn't just haha gay. He saw an article about Miles (someone he hadn't spoken to in an actual decade) that didn't sound like the person he knew (who was a child at the time), and determined he must've been horribly damaged and lonely. And his solution was, well... time to give up on any other passion I may have had to find the fucker.

Phoenix doesn't love like a golden retriever. He loves like the fucking sun. It's so bright and beautiful, and it burns, and he doesn't care.

Anyway, that got away from me, but tldr: I adore Phoenix so damn much.

if fig and kristen not sisters, then why fig being set up as a narrative foil of ankarna’s (maybe even being groomed by porter to be her paladin as her corrupted rage form), who actually might uncorrupt her by believing in her as she was? “Goddess she was of righteousness and the clarity of conviction to act with all the burning fury of the sun. That those who would wrong her or her SISTER would not be allowed to let their wickedness spread.” idk sounds like german shepherd mode to me! sounds like being a paladin, not of kristen’s goddess but of kristen, to me! sounds like SISTERS to me!!
