    When she started I was like nope nope this is blasphemy but something urged me to watch until the end. She has a way with words. This is amazing. Think about found my favorite poem

      It’s so sad that so many of y’all that claim and call yourself Christians or God-fearing believers do that, y’all so quick to jump to judgment and conclusions of others that don’t speak or act like you do🙄🫤 Even if she did continue to speak “blasphemy” or the way she started to the very end with no retort… compassion would’ve been the key🔑

      When she started, I was like, "Girl I feel your pain". Then she reminded me of who God is! 🕊🕊🕊

    “Seek My face before the works of My hands” and “and what doesn’t kill you, knows who you belong to” hits sooo hard. Such an amazing piece of art.

    truth be told the first half reflects realistic thoughts n convers that we humans have n we dont admit them .i love her guts

    • @SaltAndGracepoetry

      The first part shows how sinful our hearts are to ever think to Judge God's good character. God always does what is righteous and perfect. Job rebuked his wife for talking like the first part. I'm glad she turned the corner here.

    This is super and touching. You know there are many times my sister almost gave up on God because she felt he wasn't answering all our prayers, sometimes I felt same. But God is always God. He knows the right time

    I sobbed listening to this, I have felt so much pain in my short lifetime, this resonated with me deeply. I turned my back on Jesus in my darkest hours when I should’ve been running into His already open arms. He is relentless with His love and mercy. I love you Jesus!

    i thought she was gonna say bad things about god the whole time but she didnt , her way of words are really good
    and motivational.
    she might be a true inspiration to others

    😢😢😢 ❤❤❤I only stayed listening so I rebuke and pray against the condemnation to God n asking for repentance for me n her Kanti it's the Holy Spirit whom is leading me to finish the watching cz it's the most powerful presentation of our reality with our walk with God we fall n rise in Him we doubt and anger to Him but His relentless love and persuit for Him to us knows no end ...wow young lady this is powerful I'm going to dance to it

    Thank you for such a beautiful message. It's so real. Sometimes we feel God is the one hurting us and we become so blinded until we see we're the ones hurting him. Yet still, he is so good and just those two words. BE STILL. So powerful, thank you.
