Psalm 130
(King James Version)
1Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
2Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
3If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
4But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
5I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
6My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
7Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
Reflection
God earns our love, respect and worship, by forgiving us, by not keeping an accounting list of all of our sins. If God were to hold a list of all of our sins over our heads, we would be too scared of God to respect God, to love and worship the Lord. God will redeem His queer people. There is no doubt about that. God's forgiveness proves that!
