I have sat on and thought about the legalization of gay marriage all day. I wanted to carefully sort through my thoughts and confusions before I spoke on the topic. First let me start with I love God, Secondly, I love people, and lastly I am not perfect and I have by far fallen short of the glory of God. What I'm about to write is completely my opinion and I hope no one condemns how I feel about the situation.

   As soon as I saw that the bill was past I immediately saw negativity and hate towards people. My heart was broken by the lord and his voice was heard, " love, love, love". Than he led me to the verse, John 13:34  A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. Speaking of my own intimate relationship with the lord it has been completely built on forgiveness and love. God has forgiven me for so much and has held me and healed me in my most darkest hour. When I think of judging someone for a sin like sexuality I'm instantly broken. How and why would I even try to take that power from my all knowing father? It is simply not my place.

   Over the past years I have met many people who live this lifestyle. Are they horrible people? Nope. Are they abominations? Defiantly not. Do they deserve to be happy? Yes. By me being open minded and loving to them I have been able to share my relationship with God and advance his Kingdom. My life would not be as colorful if it wasn't for some of these people.
 
     Has gay marriage personally hurt you? I'm going to take a wild guess here and say no. Has your hatred and disgust looks hurt them? Deep down it probably has. Has there sexuality hurt God ? Probably, but your hatred and judgments has hurt him just as much. First and foremost I know it is my job to love others because this is the easiest way to show them the love the lord has spoken to my life. Ultimately I know who is in control and I know that as a body of Christ we can use this situation just as Jesus used situations and turn hem into miracles. It is each and every one of ours duties to advance his kingdom an not allow the world to mask how great his love is for everyone.
