We live in a broken world. Christians are sinners just as much as everyone else, and some aren’t even true Christians. We can’t see other people’s hearts; you can’t always know who is or will be saved. You can take a guess based off their fruit, but you can’t be sure.
It’s often hard to know what the best way to act is as well, especially if/when you see someone struggling with a sin. It can be hard to find a way to hate the sin but love the sinner.
Fascinated by this phenomenon
Chapter summary:
An ancient race of indestructible warriors threatens Ninjago, the twins are working through Emotions, and Aurnia finally takes charge for once.

What happens to me and probably many artists
They’re too evil! - Redemption has nothing to do with how good or evil you were to begin with.
They don’t deserve it! - Redemption is not something that can be “deserved.”
Their actions are unforgivable! - Redemption has nothing to do with forgiveness.
It’s too late for them to change! - It is only “too late” to choose redemption when a character is dead (unless the scope of the story includes an afterlife in which change is possible).
It doesn’t fit the themes of the story.
They’re not an important enough character for showing the process of a redemption arc to be worthwhile.
They’re more interesting as a character who isn’t doing the right thing.
It’s more satisfying to let them keep being evil.
It makes it more satisfying when they die.
There’s probably more, but you get the idea.
Remember, redemption is when someone realizes they are wrong, and takes steps to doing the right thing. That is not something that can be “deserved,” it is not something that hinges on forgiveness, and it is not something that it is ever too late for! …Unless the person is dead or something.

Anyways, back again! No one should be surprised!
Look, there were just too many cool scenes that were begging for color in this fic. So!
Until I'm told to stop, or run out, here we go.
👍🩷🎵🧡❤️
To be fair the heart colors are constantly shifting bc i change the colors based off what character im currently talking about 😂

Since kai's name has to do with both fire (Scottish I believe) and water (hawaiian) I do wonder if Ray and Maya were like "hey it's a 50/50 shot which element he gets" and then when he was very clearly fire they chose like a very distinctly water name for their second kid
