My heart aches for the group I used to be apart of. To see so many deceived by sin, handed over to the desires of their flesh as explained in Romans 1:24-27

I want you to know that God can forgive your sins, can give you new life. Can change your desires, turn your whole life around!

I used to be attracted to women, I used to fornicate with women, I used to be in love with women.

God has given me new life through His Son; Jesus Christ.

Jesus came to die for our sins, to be an atonement for our sins.

There’s no forgiveness of sins without atonement of sins!

The best way I know how to explain this transaction is like so;

You and I fall short to the glory of God (Roland 3:23) we have sinned against God. And He is good, which means He is also just. When someone is full of justice, they must punish sin.

Yes, that means you and I have earned wages for our sins. And just like the judge in a court of law gives wages of a range, God gives wages for our sins, which is death.

You and I cannot do anything to change God’s mind on our own merit

“ for by works of the law no human being will be justified in His sight, since through the law comes comes knowledge of sin“ (Romans 3:20)

Our only hope of redemption, new life, forgiveness, ids only Jesus. (who is God incarnate)

John 3:3 says you cannot enter into the kingdom of Heaven unless you are born again.

Jesus died for our sins,

And to cement our eternity, He defeated death in His resurrection

What you need to do is repent of all your sins (repentance means to turn away from, to forsake, to leave that lifestyle)

And trust in Jesus as your Savior.

If anyone ever wants to further discuss this, please reach out to me. I will be praying for the lgbt community through this month, that you would come to have new life, salvation, Hope in a lost and dying world. Peace through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Reminder:

Stop making money your God. The devil will give you all the power and all the money you need, that’s a piece of cake for him! He doesn’t want you to know God because you will be too powerful for him, when your feet hit the floor in the morning he will run in fear because he knows that’s a powerful child of God, I can’t mess with her/him. He will do anything he can to distract you from God because once you’re distracted from God, you are his. Consumed and controlled by these things. Stop making money your God.

the sad thing is, everyone thinks they’re so forgettable, or they don’t mean anything to anyone. but you don’t see your high school friend, smiling to themselves, when they think about your quirks or how dramatic you used to be whenever you got a crush. you don’t see the person who saw you around a lot but was always too shy to talk to you. you don’t remember the person you helped, and maybe you didn’t do much for them, but you didn’t know that they were having a shitty month and you sparked their first real smile in weeks. you don’t see the person that secretly loved you too, who never forgot the soft words that you said, or the way you smiled whenever you saw them, or how you reminded them of sunshine and flowers; and how the thought of you pops into their mind more than you will ever know and in the randomest of places. you will never know that a soft song or strawberries or a sunset will remind someone of you. they will go to the beach and think of you for some reason, until they remember that the last time they saw a color as beautiful and as profound as the ocean was when they looked in your eyes. no one knows their impact on people, or their worth. no one thinks they will be missed when they leave, but they don’t know that once you go into someone’s life, even for a fleeting moment, you stay forever, and you take up a soft place that no one else could ever replace.

Prayer:

Dear Father God in Heaven, I humbly come before You in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. I ask that You will forgive me for any spiritual neglect or laziness. Lord, help me to serve You with a fervent mind and fervent spirit. Please allow Your Holy Spirit to increase my hunger for You, Your Word, and the things of God. Draw me by Your Spirit that I may run for You. Draw me by Your Spirit that I may be consumed with Your love and truth. I thank You now, Father, that You have heard my prayer and I expect a renewal in my spiritual walk in Jesus Christ’s name.
