Blurring the Lines

Sometimes the lines need to be blurred to have correction. We can't see the end yet because we're in the middle of the process.

The identity issues today appear to have negative connotations on society but I propose that in the end what was intended for evil will be good.

No, I don't want men using the bathroom next to my girls.
No, I don't want to worry about my four children growing up in a confused, sexually-charged society.

But, I have to believe that God has all this figured out.

We need a correction.
People are degraded, mishandled, abused.
We don't want to see it so we keep it under the Earth.
Covert.
Covered.

Out of this are the hurts that are protruding.
'See me. See my hurt disguised as displaying my false identity.'

But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.”
1 Samuel 16:7

The lid is off. 
We are seeing the product of years of hurt and turning away. 
Not willing to look at the damage.
Now we have to see it.
We have no choice but to deal.

Love turns the tide.
Meet them.
Don't beat down an already downtrodden soul.
Get down on your knees and look them in the eye.
See them for what God made them to be.
Call out who they really are.

God sees the beginning, present and the end. 
His ways are not our ways.

Our job is to love.
To be filled with the same love that Jesus is filled with.
Love is the greatest weapon God gave the Earth.
Use it.
Ask for more.

Can we see hearts?
Can we see with eyes that God gives?

Embrace someone who offends.

Know that not all are willing to receive.

And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Matthew 10:13

Giving love to someone who has never received it is the greatest gift we can offer. 

Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.
Proverbs 10:12
