Gay Christian Devotion

Proverbs 16:1-3

Proverbs 16:1-3 We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer. 2People may be pure in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their motives.3Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed (NLT).1

Reflection

You were created gay, created lesbian, created bisexual. Nobody chooses their sexual orientation. One's sexual orientation is not a mistake; it is a deliberate act of a loving God.

We make plans, but our plans do not succeed unless they are God's plans. Straight plans are not God's plans for queer people. Trying to live straight, act straight, be straight is not what God wants for His queer children. The good news is that living as the queer people God created us to be is in harmony with God's plans. Being queer for Christ is going to help your plans succeed, because then your plans are in harmony with God's plans for your life.
