  • What is my identity? Sometimes we all wish we were somebody else, and struggle -- and we go through great lengths, to be someone we are not, often hurting ourselves. A short story about a little rock wished to be something he was not, only to find along the way, who he really is. "The rock who wanted to be a tree", written and directed by IMBeggar.

    I’ve been watching this channel’s videos for three days in a row (almost going through all the vids and repeating my faves). I have to say, my prayer life has become deeper and more constant (I had this thing where I was scared to pray) and I was able to stay away from more distraction and just sit down in silence to do my work. It became easier to face things I had been avoiding and to avoid things that I struggled with. This is a really nice hopeful thing cause prior to this I was really thinking this religion thing doesn’t seem to be working out anyway. Thanks 🙏🏽

      @@AntonyCannon Does something in transition become not that thing? Does a tree become not a tree because it's a table? Or a statue not a stone because it's a statue? Wouldn't that be up to the person who created it, and knows its purpose or function fully? Everything in creation undergoes transformation, because it's meaningful to things that are only here for so long to grow, to exchange and give and receive, and to cease. In this form, for these purposes, for this time. Eventually, though, we reach perfection under the watchful eye of God, through his understanding of the creations purpose. Even the creation knows that this perfection that God gives is the perfection WE have sought after, through the wisdom given to us.

      @Sam-kw9ss Před 2 měsíci

      @Maksie0 Take this as encouragement, but just as this story suggests, there’s actually a beautiful reason for why God creates one to be a man and another to be a woman, and that we ourselves shouldn’t choose what we think we should be (in the sense of gender). If we choose to rebel against the way God made us initially, we actually will find that we’re worse off that way, because, well, there’s a reason God made the choice for us to be initially who we are, male or female. God doesn’t want you to “transgender” because He knows it’s only going to hurt you if you give into the lie that you’re supposed to be someone else. Hope this makes sense :)

    I must be deeply broken inside because I still hate myself deep down and feel like God's absolute worst creation. Nothing I do turns out right. And anything worthwhile, I just can't seem to achieve. I resonate with failure far more than I do blessing or success. My lack of awareness or appreciation of the blessings I actually do have only make me feel worse about myself. Can't afford therapy and God's not going to magically fix my problems. This is simply just my plight. I wish I had a happy ending like that rock. 😔

      @@Maksie0 I don't know if you're staying that to blaspheme God or you really think that's the truth. But nobody is born transgender it is a choice that people make, people have mental illnesses and gender dysphoria but it takes decision making and thinking to decide you're gonna take hormone replacement therapy and surgeries. We are all born male and female, there is no third gender.
