      أريام حبيت أنبهك، لا يجوز التهنئة بأعياد غير المسلمين تهنئتك لهم بمثابة إقرارك بأن المسيح أبن الله تعالى الله عمّا يقولون علوًا كبيرًا، قرأت تعليقك ف وجب علي نصحك 💙

      I did not come to these rulings on my own. There is a holy book called the Qur’an, and I am obligated to implement its commands and avoid its prohibitions.

    This video spoke to me in a way I was not expecting... ever since I was a child, my family always "forced" me to be Christian, but, even though I believe and talk to God on a daily basis, I was never dedicated to His faith. You and your videos made me want to buy a bible and finally start my journey with Him. And for that I am so thankful. Thank you, Annika! You're such an inspiration to me, as a content creator and as a person 🥰 (ps: your Bible Journals are so cute!!! I want to do bible studies with my boyfriend, but we have no idea where to start... would love to win one of the bible journals). Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Mine was good, but didn't feel like Christmas without my granny. I miss her ⭐ please be grateful for the people in your life ❤

    I am an atheist but have a lot of knowledge about the Christian believe and visit church on a regular basis out of respect for my family. I have to say that I love your approach, only few people who claim to be religious actually take the time to read the bible and to reflect about its teachings. You are not on the nose about it which I absolutely love, keep up the great work! Love from Bavaria ❤

    I loved this video so much. My heart burned as you were speaking, and it reminded me of that passage about the disciples in Emmaus. It really warms my heart to see people who are truly grounded in Christianism and not just seeking earthly blessings. My favorite way to spend time with God is by pacing back and forth on my corridor whilst venting and worshiping. To Him may be all glory. Amen!

    I lovedd this vlog, instead of watching Christmas movies I’ve been watching videos and podcasts about God, Christianity, etc🤍 felt like it was the best way to celebrate Him and Christmas since I’ve spending it alone this year. I’m of a different religion, but I’ve always felt connected to Jesus and felt that He helped me throughout my whole life and always answered my prayers. Im just starting on my journey to becoming closer to God and my favorite way to spend time with Him is by just talking to him or listening to worship music. I have been longing to get a bible so I can get more invested into my relationship with Him and understanding Him🥹 this season, I’m most grateful for Him, helping me get through the past few years which were really tough. I’m also grateful for myself, my health, and my strength.
    Have a wonderful Christmas Annika 🤍✨

    for the past 3 years I've been listening to daily bible chronological podcast by china hardin and the bible recap by tara-leigh cobble. it really helped me with my bible reading journey. I want to try something new for next year. I usually read my bible, listen to the podcasts, journal my prayers, then listen to worship.
    i love listening to worship music at midnight too. idk why, but i love that the worship music words are the only thing i can hear that time of the day.

    My favorite way to spend time with Jesus is sitting somewhere outside (parks, mountain, beach, outside my house…) and imagine Him sitting right next to me, sometimes we talk, and sometimes we just admire the view, like old time friends.
    What I’m most grateful this season is finally knowing the importance of Christmas and having friends that I can share this excitement with.

I’m really coming into finding my faith and finding new ways to spend time with Jesus, I grew up in a religious household however I don’t have a lot of knowledge myself and really want to focus on that this year. I hope to win this giveaway as a I think a journaling bible would be helpful to learn about God.

The way you talk about God is beautiful and your presence in my life has really helped me in improving my relationship with him after the hardest season of my life. Honestly i don’t have a favorite way of spending time with God id say that talking to him in my happiest moments is what gives me the most joy but crying on his shoulder is what gives me hope and makes me feel closure with him.
