Gay Christian Devotion
Psalm 1 (King James Version)
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Reflection
Those who who condemn gay people, and deny God's love includes gay people are promoting an ungodly gospel. People who tell gay men and lesbians they should change their sexual orientation give ungodly advice. Gay people who follow their advice are not blessed. The word translated blessed means happy. Following the advice of the ungoldy, by trying to change one's sexual orientation, leads to unhappiness.
The work of gay Christians who are serving God will last. Their service for the Lord will be yielding results long after the ministries of those who try to withhold the gospel from gay people have ended.
