Thank you so much for this. I literally just started to doubt if God can love my queerness and how the Bible can be used for homiphobuc rhetoric. Thank you so much, may God bless you always <3
We like to use words to hurt others, to keep them in a place we feel comfortable with. It's devastating to me what we've done and continue to do to our queer siblings. Just know that here, you are loved and valued, and we are better now that you've found us.
Hi Brisa, you are so loved in all of your queerness! It is human to question whether we are loved or lovable, and especially when people use the Bible as a tool of violence and hate. Know that God loves you and Jesus' unending message is one of love and inclusion, especially for those that religious people in power cast out. I'm glad you found the Daily Ripple, and invite you to join our faith community at juniperformation.church, and learn more at juniperformation.org. We are a queer loving and celebrating bunch. Take good care!
You are not alone in these doubts and pain; far too many of us have been there. But God weeps and rages when Their good news is distorted to bring harm to Their beloved. I’m thankful for communities like this one where we can bring our doubts and hurt, and be reminded that God holds the oppressed close to Their heart. Love and solidarity <3
Thank you so much !! I appreciate you and your words so much. I was actually crying over this and wondering if who I am is a sin, and I felt like I heard a voice call out to me, "Beloved, can you not see?" And I just... I think it may have been God affirming Their precious love for me :,) thank you so much once again <3
Thank you so much. I'm sending you all my love and care, too. These doubts can suck so much, but please know that God holds us with so much love always <3
