Day Eighty-Nine
Verse: "'Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.'"
Psalm 107:1
A few days ago, we live in a broken world: there are mass shootings (there were two in the United States a few days ago), people living with terrible illnesses with no cure, there is crime everywhere, anxiety, depression, and the list goes on and on. Many people question God's goodness throughout this mess and brokenness.
We have to remember as Christians that God never promised us a life without trouble and brokenness. God warned us in John 16:33: "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."' But God also gave us hope that He has overcome the world. That with God on our side, we can do anything! (Matthew 19:26)
Even though this broken world: God is good! (107:1)
How is God good through this mess?
Because God sent His only Son, Jesus to the cross to die for our sins. Jesus died a horrible death. But then three days later, Jesus rose from the grave and defeated death! The veil was torn and now: once we have been saved, we can die and go to Heaven with Jesus. Now because of Jesus: we can have a real, close, and personal relationship with God. (John 3:16)
Now because of Jesus: we can have hope through Him. Hope that never goes away. Hope that even when bad things happen we can have joy, hope, and peace. Hope that in not based on circumstances but hope that is through Jesus. God's hope, peace, love, rest, joy, comfort, wisdom, guidance, and encouragement is never ending.
God is good even when life isn't. God is good and He will always be good. (Psalm 31:19) (Psalm 107:1)

Even though this broken world, you can run to Jesus and find everything you need in Jesus. No matter what you are going through: you can run to Jesus. Jesus will love and accept you with open arms. (John 6:37)
So run into God's arms today!
Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray for everyone that has been affected by those mass shootings. I pray you love and comfort their families. God I know this world is broken and crazy but I praise you because of your goodness. God I believe that you are good through this chaos of our world. God I pray that you grab my hand. I can't do life without you Lord. I need you Lord. So please come close by my side and help me walk through life with you by my side. I pray you bless me with whatever I need. I praise you for listening to me and I know you will help me.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen.

Dexter Hargreeves is a 18 year old boy. Dexter is a very intelligent person, and always rational.

So one day when he was 13 he decided to use his $1,000,000 allowance and donate it to an orphanage. He kept doing this and he gained goo karma, that wasn't even believed to be possible for this world. One day he had just gotten out of school, and he was reading one of his favorite novels he had saved on his phone as he walked home, and the notorious Truck-kun hit him. Dexters soul sat in a dark place for 10,000 years, but for him it felt like 1. The gods saw this, and it was their fault in the first place he got hit, because they were playing with Hot Wheels to see why kids liked them, and he got hit. They felt bad so they gave him a reward.

His Trophy | Jerome Valeska
"Oh and Jim, Jim Gordon?" Jerome peered into the camera as if to yell out to an audience: "I have Rory here," he turned the camera towards Jim's daughter and revealed to the audience a girl that had been beaten and tormented, she was gaged and her eyes didn't look at the camera but above the lens; at Jerome who was holding the camera."Say hi to Daddy, doll face," he jeered from behind the camera. She looked down the lens and shook her head as if to tell Jim not to try. The camera went back to Jerome."She's a beauty isn't she, Jimbo," Jerome smirked into the camera, his laughter becoming harsh and wild: "and she's all mine, you try anything, and I mean anything, I kill her. She's my prisoner, my reward, and you're not taking her away from me Jimmy boy, on no, not this time" his words were spoken through waves of laughter.***Rory Gordan is the stepdaughter of Jim Gordon. Her mother moved a lot so Rory was born in Gotham City but raised in England and from the age of 10 she had been bouncing from one country to another with her mother. However, when she turned 17 she had grown tired of the constant change of moving and decided to move to America. It was when she was visiting her long term boyfriend when her life got flipped upside down, not only did she meet one of the craziest boys on the planet, but she discovered that she had a gift that would curse her forever. This story is a collection of scenes rather than a flowing plot, so its chronological but it skips scenes and jumps back and forth between different perspectives. The story is under editing, so it'll get more cohesive over time.••• I do not own any characters or plot lines from the tv show. However, all original characters like Rory do belong to me.Total Word Count [33,674]
