It's fabulous to be gay

Luke 11:33-36

             It astounds me that we have the ability as humans to simply go into survival mode,. Perhaps it is a good thing. We can live day in and day out as if we are hibernating alive, our lives filled with daily drudgery, work, routines and not much else. Not an enticing existence but so many do live this way.

             There are people though, and I like to think I am one of them, who seem fully alive, animated, celebrated and motivated.  There are people who seem fully engaged and seem to radiate the joy of life. These people seem to have purpose and drive.

             What it is that gives you the spark, or as this passage points out your whole body is full of light, varies from person to person. Part of that joy, the expressive light within is recognizing the essence of God that is within you. When you come to know that God created you and loves you there is a sparkle that comes to your eye and to your entire being. 

            Another way to ignite that spark within is to acknowledge and celebrate the precise person God created you as. This celebration includes the expression of your love and all the talents and gifts God has graced you with. It is a phenomenal feeling that others cannot help but see and notice.

            One of the things that seems to gather a great amount of attention is the joy, inner peace and light that is manifested when you acknowledge that you are gay. In essence it is no better than any other gift God has given mankind but it is so fundamental and has been so restricted and hidden by society that being gay seems to burst forth with such great light from within people. It is light, it is a rainbow bursting forth, it is fabulosity on the grandest of scales.  This month we celebrate the light, joy and fabulosity of being gay. A true gift from God.

             Let your light shine, where is there anyone half as fabulous as you?

‘No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar, but on the lampstand so that those who enter may see the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. If your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light; but if it is not healthy, your body is full of darkness. Therefore consider whether the light in you is not darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, it will be as full of light as when a lamp gives you light with its rays.’
