we can all learn from one another. some people within christianity might think that those in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community can’t teach christians anything. i want to assert that anyone can learn anything from anyone if they are willing to listen, if they are willing to be humble, if they are willing to see people as God sees them…
take for example…we can learn that:
God applauds diversity
God creates and sustains all of his creation
God doesn’t have a plumbline within which he accepts people, he accepts all people
God is fiercely committed to who he has made us, whoever we are
God is proud of us because we are his and shouldn’t be ashamed of being His
God’s grace doesn’t extend to those who say that they might see the world through a ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ narrative
This is just a few things we can add to the list of things we can gain to learn about God from the LGTBQ community.
We must be embrace all people as God and strip ourselves of condescending labels that separate us from the relationships that God has intended all of us to be in with one another. In fact, he does say when we are all one, we are most like the divine.
