Hello! I've been following you for quite some time, and I figured it's about time I'd let you know something. I promise, this isn't trolling or anything like that. I just noticed that I don't remember seeing an ask like this on your blog. Your past posts about the relationship with you and Yeshua has inspired me to form a relationship with Him of my own. Like, I relate to how you said God led you out of Christianity, and I didn't identify as one for a long time. It's true what you said, just talk to Him and get to know Him, ya know? He's really cool once you get to know Him.
Anywho, I just thought I'd let you know that. Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful day!
You are in for a rollercoaster ride in a good way! That's all you need to know from this point forward.
I will let you know... the past nine or ten months have been very rough. I don't like putting the spotlight on myself, but I will admit there were moments where He and I's relationship were on rocks because of how much people threw hate just because I loved a Jew or just because I looked up to Israel. I have been damned, told to die, called a "whore", "baby-killer", or even a "nazi"... Hell, these keyboard warriors waving watermelons on their profile don't give a damn about my home (RGV) ...
However, the fact that you learned how a relationship with G-d should be and how to nurture it while also getting to know Him as a person rather than an icon... That really helps a lot, you have no idea. I will say this again, you have just begun this journey. It will shape you up and change you despite the crazy odds it will be worth it.
My advice, keep the integrity of the nature of Love and that will help you gain a better foothold as you keep walking. 1 Corinthians 13 and the book of John is a great to start for gentiles and you can germinate from there. Proverbs is the next step, but ruminate over those! Take your time, there is no rush at all.
Talking about this, believe it or not is helping me TREMENDOUSLY. You have no idea how this comment was like a drink from an oasis for not just myself but many others who are walking along side me.
You among a few others have helped me this week to get back on track, so you sincerely have my thanks. I am humbled to hear of your walk and I hope for nothing but the best. Again, you may be in for a ride, but it's a journey you won't regret.
I will end it on this note:
The Jews don't hate gentiles. If they do, that is a violation of Leviticus 19.
The Jewish people have longed for the gentiles to exceed far greater than they have imagined. They long for another Cyrus if not greater. This faith in the gentiles is what motivated Yeshua (Yehoshua Bar Yosef) to make his final case at the court. This faith in the gentiles is what contributed to his life being cut short. I refuse to believe the lie that Jews hate gentiles or "see them as animals" as the radial ones say... because why would one marry me, why would they treat me as blood, and why would the one you call "Messiah" or "King" died for them too.
So to you I leave you with this question that I know will build your relationship further: "Who do you say I am?" ... "Who are you in your heart?"
This is Zion: an ingathering under G-d (אהבה).
