Love Wins

God created marriage. He created marriage to be between a man and a woman. Not man and man, not woman and woman. What men and women decide is legal or not has no bearing on God and His laws. You can’t change what constitutes marriage any more then you can change what time the sun rises and sets each day.

As a Christian, I cannot support homosexual behavior, so it should go without saying that I cannot support  calling a homosexual union “marriage”. Homosexual behavior is sinful because it is destructive to those involved, and I will not apologize for the truth. At the same time, my beliefs do not interfere with my love and care for those who are attracted to the same sex. We all have sinned and fallen short. I won’t pretend I am somehow cleaner or more deserving of happiness than anyone else because I am not. And here is the very good news: Jesus died on the cross, not for the righteous, but for the weak, the sinful — that is me, that is my husband, that is you. Because of Jesus, nothing can separate us from God’s love. We are equally highly valued and deeply loved by our Creator. Today I am praising God for His goodness, His overwhelming mercy, and His love for us all. And God’s love always wins.
