TW: I know how it is like to feel like everything around you crumbling, and you are stuck between the ruins; you can't seem to find a way out except to end the pain you are feeling at the moment.

I've been there. It wasn't long ago, but I am genuinely glad that I chose to rise and keep going.

What you are feeling at the moment is valid but not permanent. There is a way out, and you will be grateful that you didn't fall for your mind's trickery. There is a lot more to life than this moment, please DON'T GIVE UP 🌻🤗

If you come across someone that shares their derogatory comments on your feelings, don't believe a word they say.
For many, the act of completing suicide is cowardice. I don't blame them. It's how society made it seem. Instead of helping, they choose to condemn. Instead of showing empathy, they blame us for how we feel.

It takes a lot of guts to face death, finds the willpower and courage to overcome it — to pull back from the edge of disaster, and YOU CAN DO IT 💞. Always remember that your emotions aren't static. Yesterday, today and next week may not be the same.

You are not alone in this 🌻

Restoration for your Own Mistakes

Perhaps you are thinking, “Yes I know I can expect restoration when the devil attacks me or if I am persecuted. But I am suffering now because of my own mistake. Surely I cannot expect God to restore me? I will have to suffer and pay for my mistake.”

Well, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is called the good news because it is really undeserved favor. Even if you are suffering losses from your own mistakes, you can still expect to receive restoration that is better in quality and/or quantity than before.

I know it sounds too good to be true, but I am not just making that up. Look at Abraham’s story. He told his wife Sarah to lie to everyone in Gerar that she was only his sister.

He did this because Sarah had been renewed in her youth and was exceedingly beautiful. Abraham was afraid that if the people knew that she was his wife, they would kill him and take her for themselves.

After hearing that Sarah was only Abraham’s sister, the king of Gerar, Abimelech, took Sarah into his harem.

Reading this story, it is clear that Abraham is the one at fault. He lied that Sarah was only his sister, and his lies stemmed from cowardice and self-preservation, endangering Sarah’s chastity.

Yet, when God wanted to save Sarah from being violated, He threatened Abimelech and his family with death if he decided not to restore Sarah to Abraham.

“God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn’t allow you to touch her. Now therefore, restore the man’s wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you don’t restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.”” (Genesis‬ ‭20:6-7‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Shouldn’t it be Abraham who was threatened with death for his cowardice and lies? This is God’s Grace towards the righteous ones who are justified by faith. Even if you make a mistake, God is not punishing you for your sins—His heart is to restore you for the negative consequences of your wrong actions.

What does restore “the man’s wife” mean? Is it just to give Sarah back to Abraham? Let us examine what Abimelech did:

“Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him. Abimelech said, “Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you.” To Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated.”” (Genesis‬ ‭20:14-16‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Wow, instead of just giving Sarah back to Abraham, Abimelech gave sheep, cattle, servants, land and a thousand pieces of silver to Abraham. Even though Abraham was the originator of the problem, he was enriched through his mistake.

This is what God’s restoration looks like. You never just get the same thing back. It will always be better in quality and/or quantity when He restores you for your losses.

Even though Abraham made mistakes in his life, he had a great relationship with God, such that the Scriptures call him “a friend of God”. Whenever God appeared and spoke to him, he paid attention, delighting in the words and meditated on them.

An example of this would be God’s promise to him that he would have a son who was born of Sarah. Abraham never gave up on that promise, and eventually, he received the fulfillment of it.

“Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.” (Psalms‬ ‭1:1-3‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Although we are born-again and our spirits are righteous, holy and perfect like Jesus, we still live in this body of sinful flesh. Sometimes we get confused, thinking that the fleshly impulses and thoughts are our own. This causes us to make mistakes.

However, if you have a heart for God’s word like Abraham did, even the mistakes you unwittingly make will prosper. What you did may not be good, but God can still turn things around for your good because He is for you, not against you. Since you are righteous in Christ, you can expect to receive restoration for your losses, even if they were caused by your own mistakes!

Learn God’s plan to prosper you in all things through His restoration. If you have lost in any way, you can expect to gain much more/better back. This eBook, “All Things Made New”, may be the most comprehensive book about God’s restoration:

Kyojuro Rengoku saying
"If you get knocked down by your own weakness and cowardice, flame up your heart, grit your teeth and move forward. Even if you stop in your tracks and cower, you're not gonna stop the flow of time. Don't be saddened by the fact that we're all reaching the end."

Stand next to me, and let’s take a photograph
In front of this nostalgic scene from our past
Just you and me, strike a pose that makes me laugh
Something silly like you did that day

Up in the sky, bluer than the bluest seas
Clouds make their way, floating carefree on the breeze
Beautiful things grow more beautiful it seems
When admired from further away

Darling, I’m just so happy that you are here with me
Together once more in this place as we promised we would be
And if this emotion welling up inside
Filling me with joy and light
Isn’t love then, baby, I don’t know what love is

So, with all my love, I give you this bouquet
I know it’s a lot, but take it, it’s okay
There’s no special reason -- you don’t need to ask me why
Come on, forget everything for a second
Don’t you laugh at me -- just take it, I’m begging
There’s no need to be shy

Why does today look so much like yesterday?
I saw the road fork in two different ways
Just a small choice, but I floundered just the same
Nothing but my cowardice to blame

I used to think that crying was what I did best
Always leaning on comforting words like a damsel in distress
Time again I chose the path that turned out wrong
Now I know where I belong
After so many mistakes, I’m back here in your arms

Through the changing seasons and all of time
No matter where I go, this heart of mine
Always circles ‘round and finds its way right back to you
Why would I waste time dreaming of ideal lives
When you’re here beside me smiling in real life?
There’s no purer happiness

*Violet, indigo, black and blue
Flame, yellow, purple, sky blue
Pink, yellow green, ash, brown...*
Which color flowers should I pick for you?

Through the changing seasons and all of time
No matter where I go, this heart of mine
Always circles ‘round and finds its way right back to you
Through the thick and thin, you let me lean on you
Though I never offered one single thank you
But that stops today

愛をこめて花束を
ai wo komete hanataba wo
大袈裟だけど受け取って
oogesa dakedo uke-totte
理由なんて訊かないでね
riyuu nante kikanaide ne
今だけすべて忘れて
ima dake subete wasurete
笑わないで受けとめて
warawanaide uke-tomete

Take me just the way I am
Stay by my side for all the rest of time
