Anyone who has been afflicted long enough becomes an accomplice to his own affliction. This complicity hinders every effort they attempt towards improving their lot; they go to the point of preventing themselves from even searching for a way to be delivered,

The word "Master" tickles my brain so much, I don't know exactly what it is. I think it's because the Latin root, in Spanish gives me connotations of a "teacher", and in English the connotations of an "owner", always a "superior", and if anything fits Christ, well, it would be that semantic range.

Is it problematic that my current devotional mode and approach to Christ is at once that of a Master and a loving Bridegroom? Like, I dunno, I think that blatantly hierarchical but intimate characterization is what has finally stuck. This is when I'm not in awe at the wonder of the Divine Word.

I wish I understood the Holy Spirit more. I feel like a lot of what I attribute to living in faith, the gifts and transformative power of God, the presence of God, being in communion with God... all of these things are in, by, and through the Spirit, but I never _know_ them as such

i wonder if I have enough humility to concede the study of certain books is beyond my spiritual maturity. this book I got analyzing the gospel of John makes me pretty uncomfortable and nothing except a secular "scholar's curiosity" is keeping me going

I got blocked on main by someone like days after reactivating, and this same person doesn't block me on any of my alts. i confess this has been bothering me so much even if that's embarassing to admit. But every single time I see them I just remember this. Why am I like this
