Pip: If you’ve ever watched a sunflower track the sun across the sky and thought, “same,” then JJ Maslins Art and Designs has been writing directly to you.
Mara: This episode covers faith, salvation, and what it looks like to actually live those convictions — plus prayer, healing, how we treat each other, and a few personal reflections that ground it all.
Pip: Let’s start with the faith and salvation territory, which turns out to be the whole foundation.
Faith, Salvation, And The Choices That Shape Eternity
Mara: The central question running through these posts is urgent and personal: what does it actually mean to choose God, and what hangs on that choice?
Pip: The post “Jesus coming to take HIS people home” frames the stakes simply and warmly, and the line that opens it lands like a conversation starter: “When ever our beloved FATHER GOD allows JESUS to return to take HIS children home would be a wonderful relief for all of the believers.”
Mara: What that means in practice is that the return of Jesus isn’t treated as abstract theology — it’s described as relief, something believers are genuinely waiting for.
Pip: And “Listen to GOD” extends that logic into daily life. If God is Creator and knows all, then not listening isn’t just a spiritual problem — it has practical fallout.
Mara: The post puts it plainly: “when we don’t listen we will trip up into nonsense we didn’t have the wisdom to see and understand.” The Bible post makes the same point through scripture, recommending readers pray before opening it so they receive “the correct understanding” and are “led to GOD.”
Pip: “Choosing the path to being GOD’S Heaven and not satans hell” is the longest and most direct treatment of this — it walks through what fence-sitting on faith actually costs, and why people resist conviction even when they feel it.
Mara: “Accepting the light of JESUS” and “Reaching out to GOD” both press on what life looks like without that acceptance — and both describe the same remedy: sincere repentance and reaching toward God’s hand.
Pip: “Pray for hurt people” adds the pastoral layer — that hurt people hurt people, and the healing chain starts with prayer and forgiveness, not willpower.
Mara: “Signs You Have A Reprobate Mind And How To Change” and the Father’s Day post “To the one and only true FATHER” round out the segment — one as a call to repentance, the other as a direct, personal expression of love for God.
Pip: Heavy territory — and the next posts ask what we do with it on an ordinary Tuesday.
Prayer, Healing, And Making Space For Yourself
Mara: The post “Healing” opens the question: what happens when physical, mental, or faith struggles become a distraction from the good things God is offering?
Pip: The answer isn’t a program — it’s a relationship. And “Self care, listening to GOD and prayer” makes that concrete.
Mara: The post describes being pulled in every direction until burnout arrives, and then doing something specific: “spending time alone with GOD, JESUS and the Holy Spirit as well. The 4 of us. Talking out aloud and finding peace.”
Pip: Four people in a quiet room, one of them omniscient — still sounds like the most productive meeting of the week.
Mara: The upshot is that prayer here isn’t passive. It’s followed by listening, then refocusing — and the burden, as the post says, gets left with God.
Pip: Which sets up the question of what we owe the people around us.
Kindness, Service, And What Faith Looks Like In Action
Mara: “Evil, and those who love to do it” frames the tension: hateful acts done for no reason carry consequences, and God, the post says, will tend to this.
Pip: And then the very next post pivots to the opposite end of the spectrum.
Mara: “@ThreeForChange” spotlights a father and his two sons who clean houses and neighborhoods for free — hard jobs, no advertisers, people left in tears of joy when they’re done. The detail that stands out is simple: “They help all people, all colors and ages without a second thought.”
Pip: Faith in action, no footnotes required. From service to something a little more personal — what we notice, what we grow, what we’d rather skip.
Sunflowers, Santa, And The Places You’d Rather Not Go
Mara: “Following the sun” opens with a garden conversation and turns it into something bigger: sunflowers track the sun from sunrise to sunset, and the post draws the parallel directly — “We follow the son of GOD’S light, no matter where he will lead us.”
Pip: When the sunflower’s life ends, its head bows toward the last sunset. The post notes we’ll do the same — which is either beautiful or the most quietly devastating gardening metaphor you’ll encounter this week.
Mara: “Santa” takes a sharper tone — it’s a pointed reflection on what gets centered during Christmas and what gets displaced, arguing that the cultural focus on a gift-giving figure distracts from the celebration of salvation.
Pip: And “I have a list of places” brings it back to earth, literally — a preference for 75 degrees, enough warmth to grow food, cool enough to be outside with family. Practical, grounded, entirely reasonable.
Mara: Taken together, the everyday observations and the theological ones point the same direction.
Pip: Whether it’s a sunflower, a Father’s Day letter, or a family cleaning strangers’ homes for free — the throughline is the same: orientation matters, and so does the choice of what you face toward.
Mara: Next time, more from GODs Team. Stay encouraged.
