my rights will soon be gone!

lately so many people have been bringing the subject of gay marriages up ... its quite scary cos the face of the world can change within ten years meaning that in America, soon the kids will learn in school that its natural for people of same gender to fall in love and get married...  yet the church remains voiceless until we ourselves are void of worshipping the creature vs the Creator, sexual immorality, etc ...   i look at my own condition, the fear of men i struggle with etc and i realise perhaps this is why i cannot make an impact as yet into the situation ... perhaps this season of grace, the Lord truly needs to put in me a fear of Him and to show me my true condition as the chief of all sinners so that from this position, then only may i rise up with authority, grace and love to speak into their lives and to get them to turn around.  Cos its when i know that i too am a sinner saved by grace, then when i speak, i will do it with compassion and authority!   i have nothing against the gays and lesbian.  infact, i love them.  i love them enough to want them to return to God ... i care for them and i still care for my lesbian and gay friends.  but i guess i desire to love Jesus and His Word more.  this is why i confess that i judge myself too... i pray too that my heart will be pure and i will not be one of those that struggle with the same roots ie idolatry, etc but with perhaps different expressions!    Heal my heart and make it clean Open up my eyes to the things unseen Show me how to love. like You have loved me Break my heart for what breaks Yours Everything I am for Your Kingdom's cause As I walk from earth into eternity   Brooke Fraser (Hillsongs Publishing)
