I am addicted to understanding things, making things in my head make sense.
All of these thoughts ... I’m trying to think what is at the root, at the basis, of any disapproval of another person’s decision?
What would make me disapprove of same-sex couples?
It’s too easy, it seems, for Christians to say, “well, the bible says not to ...”
As if that means anything to someone who doesn’t see its relevance or significance. I assume, of course, its relevance.
What I do know, is that every person is here on the earth to glorify God. In absolutely everything we do. I believe it is written on our hearts, it has been woven into our very skin and in our soul to have a desire to matter to those around us.
It has been woven into our being to desire relationships with others. Because ultimately, the relationships given to us have the potential to glorify God.
We were not made to be alone, to feel lonely, to do life by ourselves. We were made to find companionship. A desire for close relationships, to be truly known, is imperative to our very being.
It glorifies God because in these relationships we sense a deep joy, a sense that our little lives are important to those around us. It reveals the truth. That we matter.
Therefore, it is not the fact that two same-sex people are together that causes my confusion. It is the fact that I believe that any romantic relationship we are in should absolutely bring glory to our Father.
Which requires tough questions sometimes, to find out whether a relationship does.
I believe sexual intimacy has the power to bind two people together in a way that no other form of affection can. I believe that taking the responsibility of sex lightly can desensitize us. Eventually, we become accustomed to obtaining closeness with someone using sexual intimacy as a tool. Because of the weight that sex has, I believe this is damaging in anything that is temporary. Anything that doesn’t last forever, really.
That is my little sister. Sometimes, I miss my bangs.
