Born this way...

          One of the things that I have yet to blog about is homosexuality. As I am a believer in God and homosexuality can be quite an issue at times. I have nothing against homosexuality. Is it wrong? Is it right? Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve? I don't know. All I know is that what matters most is if a person loves God and lives their life to the best of their ability. Who am I to judge what is the best of their ablility? Who am I, who is anyone, to say anyone involved with the same sex lives in sin. We all live in sin. We were all born in sin.

          I love people of all race, gender, ethnicity. I love them all. I love them all because Jesus loves all of us no matter who we are, or what we've done. No, I'm not perfect and there are people that I just rather not be around, I just physically don't have it in me to hate anyone no matter what they've done to me or anyone else. I don't know what is going on within them. I'm not their judge. I'm here to live my life for God, and to spread the good news. I'm here to love you and be your friend. No matter where I am or where I come from or who I will be, I will always be a friend to you.

          So we're all born this way. We're all born in sin. All we can do is accept God in our hearts and love others as God loves us. I can't remember which scripture it is but it does say that the best way to spread the gospel and show who Jesus is, is to love others. To show people love.

          No matter if they've told a white lie, caused the holocaust, or confused about their sexuality... we are to love them because God loves them.  THAT is the heart of God. Love.
