This is our life now, turned upside down. What was once accepted as normal, is no more.
The king has no clothes, but no one is allowed to state this simple truth.
The mug of clay can pretend he is a mug, no more. He claims, “I am now a beautiful flower vase.”
As a vase, he is lacking the hight, the graceful lines, the wonderful finish, the true beauty of a vases calling. It does not matter.
We are to agree, even though as a mug, he was wonderful, just the right size, pleasent to hold, simply designed, the coffee stayed hot till the last drop.
He just wasn’t designed as a vase. When you put flowers in this mug, it is simply wrong. It is a child attempting to impress Mommy.
Someone needs to say: (and I will).
“STOP IT, GROW UP, YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULY MADE, THE LORD KNEW YOU IN THE WOMB. HE MADE YOU A MAN OR A WOMAN.
IT IS NOT A CHOICE. Accept who you are, explore, embrace, grow into yourself. We are created for Gods pleasure, not our own.
Isaiah 29:16
King James Version (KJV)
“Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?”
We are living in a time, when we need to pray, that wisdom, would spread, and grow as rapidly as this foolishness has.
We have become the people, Isaiah fortold:
Isaiah 27:11
Living Bible (TLB)
“My people are like the dead branches of a tree, broken off and used to burn beneath the pots. They are a foolish nation, a witless, stupid people, for they turn away from God. Therefore, he who made them will not have pity on them or show them his mercy.”
We need to turn towards God.
They talk now of jailing folks, for not believing in man made climate change.
(Climate change is all God made).
For believing we alone, should make decisions on buying insurance, or what light bulb to buy, and whether we use, low flow toilets.
This is not big brothers job.
Neither is what I eat, whether I should wear a helmet on a bicycle or motorcycle. How, where or what I worship.
Just because someone has decreed something to be legal, certainly does not make it moral, or acceptable to an Almighty God.
Listen:
I love that mug, just as it is. Learn to serve God, as you have been designed by the Potter. You were fearfully and wonderfully made. You are not a mistake or a misfit, quit trying to be what you are not.
Be what you were born to be… If you cannot accept that then:
Go your own way. Do not ask me to rejoice in or support it. BECAUSE: I don’t care about your proclivities, do what you please. Just do it with decorum.
Please… leave me out of it.



AND ANOTHER, AMEN!!!
