Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
this is coming from a formerly bi kiddo: People always treat correction as an act of hate—-it's not.
If we hated you, we'd say "you're going to hell." "God wants nothing to do with you." THOSE Christians have got to get their $hit together.
but correction isn't a bad thing. remember when Jesus spoke to the adulterous woman? “neither do I condemn you. Now go and sin no more.” He said calmly
"For God so LOVED the world, He gave His One and Only Son, so that WHOEVER believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life. For the Son of Man did NOT come to condemn the world, but to SAVE it.” -John 3:16-17
"for the righteous man falls seven times and rises again" Proverbs 24:16.
such a bad@ss verse.
I love you, my lgbt brothers and sisters. I may not condone the actions, but you all are still my brothers and sisters.
I’m sorry that both Christians and non-Christians treated you like freaks. Your feelings are valid. It’s okay to not be okay. This earth isn’t home anyway. This is the warzone. Heaven with God is the real home. Life on Earth is just the journey.
but there are ways to keep your desires at bay. Check my blog to find it. Probably one of the older posts. I’m rooting for ya and I’m on your side. You always have a place in my heart.
sincerely,
a formerly bi kid.
- Psalm 91:2
The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer. Psalm 6:9I waited patiently for the LORD; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. Psalm 40:1-2Are you tired of waiting? Maybe, nothing seems to be happening. Maybe, you feel God is not hearing your cry for help. But your cry has reached the Lord your God. He will intervene with His divine wisdom, knowledge and understanding. His answer and His guidance will be the best. He will never never fail you.
GOD is in Control!
Psalm 46:10

"See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance."
—Song of Solomon 2:11-13 (NIV)
