Bravo God, Bravo

I was thinking. That can lead to me coming up with some weird shit.  But it can also lead me to come up with some serious things too.  Well as serious as my mind gets. My mind tends to shoot off into a lot of different directions on any given subject.

Last night while waiting for Cara to come to bed I got to thinking about God and His just as famous son Jesus.  I know we all are aware that Jesus came to earth and put on some skin to walk among us. So my mind gets to thinking about all the things our bodies do that kinda betray us.

Can you imagine Jesus farting? “Oops. Sorry Luke, Peter, that one slipped out on me.”  Burping, “Oh, that sure tasted better going down than it did coming up guys.” As Jesus thumps his chest with a fist.

I can just imagine sitting next to Jesus and his stomach growling. One of those growls that you know is coming because you can feel it building?  I’d laugh my butt off at that.

Jesus wiped his butt, blew his nose, all the stuff that comes with having a human body.

There are days when I look in the mirror and I don’t feel up to snuff. I’d like to be thinner, taller, blue eyes…the list of what I would want to change goes on and on.

Of course I got to thinking about my sexuality. I mull this over every now and again thinking about what God thinks about it. Because we all know Jesus is the example of relationships and love.  I’m not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, and won’t pretend to be. If I did pretend Cara would bring me down a notch, or two hundred.

Jesus says a lot of things in the bible. We all know that. But we also know that actions speak louder than words.  Jesus loved everyone. He was intimate with everyone. He knew everyone’s heart as soon as he met them, that’s what I mean by intimate.

Homosexuals aren’t a new breed. Gay folks have been around forever. I don’t think Jesus gave a crap.  He still doesn’t. If God wanted us to truly marry someone of the same gender, Jesus would have married a woman and shown us how to be a perfect husband.

Do you really think with all the walking around Jesus did and meeting people there weren’t a few gay folks thrown in?  With all the things in the gospels don’t you think Jesus would have mentioned this? This. humongous ’sin’ of homosexuality that is destroying the very fabric of marriage and family?

 But that wasn’t Jesus’s mission in my opinion. His mission was to show us how to have a relationship with God. To show us that no matter our path in life we are loved beyond measure. That we are to love, and leave the condemnation to God.

Jesus doesn’t identify as homosexual, bisexual, or heterosexual. The bible doesn’t talk about him being sexually attracted to anyone. Maybe because it’s not a thing he really worries about.  He just worried about relationships in general.

At the end of my deep thoughts I came to this conclusion. God knew what he was doing when he made me a lesbian. God knew what he was doing when he knew my heart would struggle with being a lesbian. He also knew that I would draw closer to him in my walk.

Because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. So I may not have blue eyes, or be as tall as I would like. I’m made the way God wants me to be made.

At the end of my thought fest I had to say: Bravo God. Bravo.
