I have a transgender
grandchild who I love unconditional and who I support, these actions are not
about whether I understand being transgender because honestly, I don’t
understand it.
My husband does not
accept this and will often refer to her as him saying he is being truthful and
I am enabling her delusions. He will often quote the Bible to back up his
actions and opinion that he is just being truthful.
When I think about how
God feels about someone being transgender, I tend to think that God’s love for
us is unconditional. No matter how we identify or express ourselves, we are
wrapped in God’s love. This love is a foundation that helps us embrace our true
selves and provides strength and encouragement. Each of us is uniquely created,
and God’s love reaches every person, allowing us to feel accepted and valued.
The LORD said to
Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I
have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees;
for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
This is just how I
feel, Tim at times makes comments about how Sam doesn’t talk to him but this
doesn’t surprise me as Sam knows that Tim doesn't support her and this has
caused friction between them.
I know how much love you have for your grandchild, and family and that matters. I believe God’s love is wider and deeper than we understand, and I trust Him with every heart, including mine. I try to leave room for the Lord to do the shaping, because He knows each person better than I ever could. So many families of all faiths, are dealing with the same complex issues. My DIL has a brother who has transitioned and there are young children involved who don't understand. I trust God has a plan for everyone - period!
ReplyDeleteI prayer for God to give Sam the guidance that is needed
DeleteI'll just put out there that Jesus loved the rich young ruler as welll... but the wrong choice cost that man his soul.
