“I believe we rob God of his ministry when we are Selective in His ministry. “
3 NEPHI 18:25 I have commanded that none of you should go away but that ye may feel my love.
This post is dedicated to our LGBT+ brothers and sisters who are the least to be recognized for their faith.
To the parent of an LGBTQ youth: Some of you may feel the anguish personal feeling that you have failed your child. And some of you have found joy and comfort that your child stretches to be… well, [themselves]…in a world of inhospitable social stigma.
There has been a closed door that have caused unnecessary pain in our young LGBTQ community. Unfortunately, we give the path that allows our LGBTQ brothers and sisters to go astray when we are afraid to reach out. In many ways we rob our LGBTQ community by refusing to serve them in the Gospel as God has commanded in scripture. “To take this Gospel to all Nations.”
In reality what we are doing is pushing back a person’s spiritual progression and spiritual well-being, their privileged ability to worship; even to allowing them the opportunity to know God in an intimate way.
Christ strictly and lovingly warned that we are to love all men and that everyone will have an opportunity to hear the Gospel.
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
You unnecessarily contribute to the preventable despairs, fears, insecurities, and moreover the tragedy of the unwanted suicide. We play a part when we ignore the voices of acceptance among the young diversity. It is simply not our job to convert, that is the job of the Holy Ghost. As it is not our job to save, –Jesus Christ does that.
Our job as the body of the living Christ is to promote goodness, to welcome, to teach, to inspire, that we could be that trusted servant to make this world a wonderful, beautiful place. That is our duty. If not, That is our responsibility.
What the world needs most is understanding and kindness. May we tackle the stigma, eliminate hate and love all of Gods sheep. ❤❤❤🙏
“Nevertheless, ye shall not cast him out of your synagogues, or your places of worship, for unto such shall ye continue to minister; for ye know not but what they will return and repent, and come unto me with full purpose of heart, and I shall heal them; and ye shall be the means of bringing salvation unto them” (3 Nephi 18:32).
