Good morning to all my Christian brothers and sisters. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.
What God offers us is a present, the present of Jesus Christ who is our lawyer and deems us innocent and gives us access to heaven, eternal LIFE!
We all will live eternally, some eternal life with God; and some eternal death in hell. Today, so many people are having self identity issues. Who am I? What am I doing here? Why am I here? Why go on living? Is this really me or am I .........? The life crises go on and on. So, God, who am I really?
This happens to so many and thus we have the new "I identify as a .......? However, society says this is okay. Is it really? When we say "I identify as ....." are we just saying "I am pretending to be a .......". Tuesday I played golf and I identified as a "golfer"; did it work. No, but I had fun. Maybe that is what this is all about - pretending and just enjoying the present. Hmmm-food for thought.
Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner is a deeply anguished he/she who has been and is still struggling with the identity situation. Here is a clip and you will hear his take on God within the first 3 minutes. Bruce/Caitlyn Jenners take on God. It is worth listening to as many think as does he/she.
We can dislike this he/she as much as you wish; but you need to love him and pray for him as well as many others around us. God made us male and female---PERIOD! And for the ones who think differently --
GOD DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES!
Genesis 5:1 When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God, 2He created them male and female and blessed them. And when they were created, he called them "man."
Deutoronomy 22: 5 addresses some of the self identity: 5“A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.
Also, Romans 1:26-27 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Brothers and sisters, we are to pray for these people. We should not show disdain, hate, or condemnation, but offer up prayers for all those who are suffering from the pressures of society and struggling with self-identification.
We should identify as Christians so others will see Jesus Christ through us. Are you identifying as a Christian?
Jesus came not into this world to condemn, but to offer salvation to all who would accept His free and wonderful gift of salvation.
Please pray for the ones around you, family, friends, neighbors, and the world as a whole. People who do not know GOD, have not accepted Jesus as their LORD and savior are deeply struggling. We, as Christians, struggle as well, BUT, we know who is in control. Dear friend - today - Let Go; Let God! Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
