If I'm LGBTQ, does God still want me?


Listen Later

Hi listener Family. If you are asking this question, please have a listen. We all have sinned and have fallen short of God's glory. No one is better or worse than the other in God's eyes. Whether you agree or disagree with someone's sexual preference or gender identity, ESPECIALLY if you're a believer in Jesus, above all else, we are to love and keep loving people as they are (however that looks for each individual relationship/situation connected to you). God doesn't wait to love us until we are doing everything perfect and right in His eyes. "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

I say this from a perspective of being personally humbled and corrected by God with this dicey matter, because I used to operate out of a confused pharisaical, or self-righteous mindset for a time, and from what God has revealed to me, I just could never imagine rejecting my son or daughter or loved one, right off the bat, for ANY reason and then call myself a Christian..

Come as you are, because He loves you no matter who says He doesn't. πŸ’žπŸ«‚πŸ™ŒβœοΈ

God told me today that He is not looking for me to be perfect, but rather He is looking for my consistency; the time I intentionally spend with Him on a daily basis, however that looks like between Him and I. And He also told me not to let different things I may still be holding onto that I think He may not like hold me back from still coming to Him consistently everyday, letting go of the shame and guilt of it, pushing past that, to get to Him, over and over everyday. I felt that He wanted me to share that with you, too. I needed that so badly, and it set me free from a lie I was believing, that He wanted me to be perfect already or I couldn't come to Him until I was. No, He just wants me, and He wants me consistently. That's how relationships work, both sides must be consistent for the relationship to survive and thrive. So there's the teaπŸ’―πŸ«‚β€οΈπŸ™ God wants you and loves you, no matter what the world says we are, or even what we say we are. To Him, we are simply His, and He is ours. βœοΈπŸ’œπŸ™Œ
"Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins."
