oh this is just so beautiful. i haven't identified as christian in a few years, but grew up extremely religious and still hold a lot of those beliefs. this piece brought me back to a place i haven't been in a long time. an understanding of true christianity, how it was intended. the rarity of this kind of faithfulness and compassion is what pushed me away from religion in the first place, and a lot of this felt like coming home. thank you so much for sharing your heart and your faith 💖
i'm glad it felt like home <3 i can so understand the push from christianity, i doubted the religion itself at times. the heart of christianity is beautiful, but many people misuse faith and that hurt me for a long time. i'm so happy this piece resonated with you <3
hey there! i just joined substack and im so glad i came upon this beautiful piece! as someone who isnt religious, im not particularly familiar with the Bible but i loved the way you mixed it into your writing <3 thank you!
Emma this is so beautiful 🥹 forgiveness is such a hard thing to tackle and I think you wrote about it beautifully. I’m so glad you’re a daughter of God and can write so well and use that to write about His forgiveness toward us, and how we should reflect that to others. ❤️
This is absolutely beautiful! Learning to forgive people is a really hard thing and you definitely captured that! The worst part of everything that happened here is the knowledge that I used to be like those people... I really hope they all learn to find peace and eventually let love prevail over their hate as I did <3

i love the emphasis on how forgiveness is not only grace for those who hurt you, but healing for yourself!
