A God Who Came Near And Died For Love Is A God In Solidarity With All Those Who Suffer And Are Oppressed.

jesus was human. sometimes it hits me and im incapable of thinking about anything else. jesus got blisters for walking barefoot & spent entire nights wide awake & got teary eyed while listening to people sing & joked around with his friends & was good with his hands & went swimming in the river when it got too hot & laughed so hard he cried & kissed his mother goodbye & liked when people played with his hair & was always kind to children & stopped to pet stray dogs & got grumpy when he was tired & wept for his life & asked to not be left alone & bled & loved & lived & died

“The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.”

— G.K. Chesterton 

My hope is in Him.

The Sermon on the Mount block print by Sarah Hawkes

God is no stranger to pain. When you cry to Him, He isn’t looking down on you and saying, “Here we go again.” He’s leaning down, feeling every tear of betrayal, anxiety, and grief that you are crying, and saying “I know. I remember. I know.”
