Rejection is part of the Christian life

God, I am weary of being "nice," and subsequently trampled beneath people's feet. Thank You for loving me, even if the world doesn't....Thank You for understanding the pain of rejection.

The primary purpose of life is not fellowship with other people, but fellowship with God. Christ said that His followers would be rejected, even by other "religious" people. Christ didn't befriend everyone, because He discerned the true nature of people.

Sincerity of heart distinguishes false Christians from genuine ones. The way is narrow indeed, for sincerity is rare. So many people treat church as a social club, yet a true Christian is set apart from the world, including selfish ambition and popularity contests.

The ritual burning of California

Fire season has started in California again. After living there for ten years and experiencing a few of them, I am convinced that most, if not all of the fires aren't natural occurrences. The media tells bizarre stories about how they start, such as gender reveal parties and sparks from car tires, but I believe they're started by Satanists.

Paradise, California burned down a couple of months after I visited with my mom. While we were there, we even talked about how they'd want to burn down that beautiful place, and that it would be a fire trap. Demons hate God's creation and want to destroy all that is pure and natural. Thankfully, most of the people in the fire survived. Yet my heart still hurts that such a nice place has been destroyed.
