Hi, Taehyung-ah 🤗🤗🤗 How are you? I hope that things are going well for you. Congratulations on being nominated for three Grammy Awards: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance 🥳🎉👏🙌 You definitely deserve these nominations, but I think that you'll win even more if you're on MV and R&B categories, just like your Layover before. Your vocals and your music definitely deserve a Grammy Award 🙌🙌🙌 You have a lot of things to be happy about, right? Last night, as I'm thinking about how you have endured all those harassment as an idol and public figure before, I wondered how you've been able to do all of that. For sure, you got a lot of support from your private life, your supportive circle, and wonderful mentors and positive and amazing people you look up to. I also think you might have nurtured some kind of meditation or focus on happiness, perhaps that's why the members call you "happiness preacher". I've been surrounded by disgusting gossipers all my life, and I have fought against all of them alone before. My paradigm is that of the Bible, dominantly about the part where Jesus was schemed against and targeted by the Jewish Pharisees and ultimately murdered Him by crucifixion because of envy. In the physical realm, that's the narrative. In the spiritual realm, the narrative is about salvation where Jesus is the sacrifice or offering in atonement of sins that God the Father will ultimately accept. Again and again, the people are described to be predisposed to do harm and evil, and that's what I have often seen from the people surrounding me all my life, and these scheming hackers-stalkers and harassers are the glaring examples. I've become strong on justice after remembering every time that God will punish them and He will equip me with what I need to do my part for that. Love is a difficult subject that can't be fully understood without faith and hope. All I know is that once something or someone is loved, we naturally become intense, deep, and loyal about it, and we go beyond the surface. It doesn't matter what the person is because they're like us already. One, as they say. One mind, one disposition. God the Father in the Old Testament is so intense about it, and despite people calling Him very punishing, His anger and judgement is actually appropriate and righteous: it's against that breaking of loyalty, faithfulness, and oneness. That's why, I hate schemers, too. I've always hated gossipers and harassers, and it ain't a wonder how short-lived was my endurance to the stupidity and evil of these hackers-stalkers. They don't work for us. Such corrupt, decaying people who haven't seen light and hope - the good things that are of God - so they are predisposed to mock and harass. When evil and corrupt people copy the ways of God, you can see the wickedness they do to the country. It's a mockery to God's patterns. The hope over this wickedness is on "Ask and you shall receive", indeed; "Mind over matters", indeed. There's happiness and justice that will come, for sure. Whatever the season is, let's recognize God in our midst. Taehyung-ah, a lot of people must have been praying for you all this time. I know they love you very much, and like me, you must also be in their prayers all this time. God said: "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." - Exodus 33:14. "...burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him...a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord." - Leviticus 1:4,9. I love you so much, Taehyung-ah. I, and so many of your fans and ARMYs, love you so much. May you never stop believing in that. May you always be assured of our love and support for you and know that when it comes to us, you don’t have to do anything unlike you. May you always find the best in you, or the best way to express your ingenuity in every situation, and be happy and proud. There will always be so many among us who can see how amazing you are each time. I hope you’ll cut the things, people, and situations that make you sad and obscured. Don’t be sorry for being yourself. Always remember you are always loved. Borahae, Saranghae, Taehyung-ah.
