I know I haven't written in, oh, forever, and no one reads this, but there is something that has really been bugging me lately.
One of my close friends from when I was in high school has recently come out as gay. She has personally not told me this, but I have heard it from other friends. Since the news came out, my other friends have been treating her differently. One of my other good friends is getting married in a few weeks and recently had a wedding shower. I was told that my friend wasn't invited because they thought it "might be awkward." How? I don't understand.
I don't see her any differently than how I viewed her before. She's still the same girl. She's still one of my really good friends, despite the fact that we haven't really seen each other in a while. She's still her.
I. Just. Don't. Get. It.
Yes, I may not agree with that kind of lifestyle, but who am I to be the judge of that? She's still an amazing person, whether she's gay or not. God still loves her just as much as he loves me and everyone else in this world. And I still love her just as much as I always have.
So, to my beautiful friend, I'm so sorry. You are still loved and I feel blessed to know you.
"Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” So then each of us will give an account of himself to God. Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother." Romans 14:10-13
