Yesterday morning, I wrote that post about God's people knowing His voice.
Today, I have been bombarded with the news that "love wins". Over the last few months, this issue has been something that cannot be ignored any longer....While so many people are celebrating, my soul is grieving.
I don't want this to be true of America. I don't want my children to grow up in a society like this. I want to wake up tomorrow and be told that it was all a big mistake.
But it is true, our society is following the desires of their hearts, and if tomorrow comes, it will all be the same.
This is America and she is in rebellion to God. This is the America that has forgotten who she is and what her founders designed her to be.
God said that this would happen (Romans 1:18-32). God is not surprised. God is not standing with His hands in the air.
Tonight, the grief has reached a high. My friends and family are joining in on the celebration. I hoped over to my blog to re-read the last post (I do that to edit any errors) and you know what...The words that I wrote yesterday morning were just what my soul needed to hear tonight.
We must not give up. We must not back down. The Shepherd is gathering His sheep and they'll know Him when they hear Him.
Oh, dear friend! I have cried many, many tears....my heart is so broken and hurt and still in a state of shock, as are so many others. We are not alone. There are more with us than be with them. 2 Kings 6:16 We must pray harder than ever before! Our God reigns, and His Word is forever settled in Heaven. Jesus is coming very soon to deliver us from this sinful world. May He find us faithful to Him and the truth He died for.
ReplyDeleteI 100% agree with you. My heart hurts but my entire facebook feed is filled with people sharing excitement over this. I am taking a break from social media for a while, I just don't want to see it. Our world is becoming a very scary place...
ReplyDeleteI hear ya! It's heartbreaking, but I also know that Jesus told us the world would do things we don't understand because they don't know Him. It just draws me to prayer more and more.
ReplyDeleteDitto what Laura said. Exactly.
ReplyDeleteI encourage you to read my blog post from today, "Because Marriage is Greater Than 'Just a Piece of Paper.'" In short, I go over the difference between what marriage is for my husband and me, and what marriage is according to the government.
ReplyDeleteAs a libertarian, I don't think the government should have anything to do with marriage. But that's what I think should be, not what actually is. As long as the government offers certain rights, privileges, and benefits to some married couples, it's discriminatory and anti-constitutional to deny those to other married couples.
