I sturggle

I DID NOT CHOOSE TO BE GAY
TO ALL OF THOSE WHO ARE HOMOPHOBIC, AND GAY BASHERS OR HATERS, THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE, YOUR BOOK AGAINST ME TELLS ME:
"O LORD, HOW MANY ARE MY FOES!
HOW MANY RISE UP AGAINST ME!
MANY ARE SAYING OF ME,
'GOD WILL NOT DELIVER ME'
BUT YOU ARE A SHEILD AROUND ME, O LORD;
YOU BESTOW GLORY ON ME AND LIFT UP MY HEAD
TO THE LORD I CRY ALOUD,
AND HE ANSWERS ME FROM HIS HOLY HILL.

I LIE DOWN AND SLEEP;
I WAKE AGAIN, BECAUSE THE LORD SUSTAINS ME.
I WILL NOT FEAR THE TENS OF THOUSANDS
DRAWN UP AGAINST ME ON EVERY SIDE.
ARISE, O LORD!
DELIVER ME, O GOD!
STRIKE ALL MY ENEMIES ON THE JAW;
BREAK THE TEETH OF THE WICKED.
FROM THE LORD COMES DELIVERANCE.
MAY YOUR BLESSING BE ON YOUR PEOPLE." -----PSALM 3

"HOW LONG, O LORD? WILL YOU FORGET ME FOREVER?
HOW LONG WILL YOU HIDE YOUR FACE FROM ME?
HOW LONG MUST I WRESTLE WITH MY THOUGHTS
AND EVERYDAY HAVE SORROW IN MY HEART?
HOW LONG WILL MY ENEMY TRIUMPH OVER ME?
LOOK ON ME AND ANSWER, O LORD MY GOD.
GIVE LIGHT TO MY EYES OR I WILL SLEEP IN DEATH;
MY ENEMY WILL SAY, "I HAVE OVERCOME HIM,"
AND MY FOES WILL REJOICE WHEN I FALL.
BUT I TRUST IN YOUR UNFAILING LOVE;
MY HEART REJOICES IN YOUR SALVATION." -------PALSM 13

And of course the best for last,
"MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?
WHY ARE YOU SO FAR FROM SAVING ME,
SO FAR FROM THE WORDS OF MY GROANING?
O MY GOD, I CRY OUT BY DAY, BUT YOU DO NOT ANSWER,
BY NIGHT, AND AM NOT SILENT.
YET YOU ARE ENTHRONED AS THE HOLY ONE;
YOU ARE THE PRAISE OF ISRAEL.
IN YOU OUR FATHERS PUT THEIR TRUST;
THEY TRUSTE AND YOU DELIVERED THEM.
THEY CRIED TO YOU AND WERE SAVED;
IN YOU THEY TRUSTED AND WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED.
BUT I AM A WORM AND NOT A MAN,
SCORNED BY MEN AND DESPISED BY THE PEOPLE.
ALL WHO SEE ME MOCK ME;
THEY HURL INSULTS, SHAKING THEIR HEADS." -----PSALMS 20

With all of these verses, you would think that even though these people were struggling with different things that fundamentalists and anti-gays would look to understand but they do not. Are you still wondering why "Jesus wept?"
He was weaping over the city of Jerusalem in disappointment, and cried when he prayed for those in need.

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." -----Mathew 5:3-10

Now, I am not trying to go all God on you all who read me, which I'm sure is very few, but, these words and phrases can help us in our fight for equality, and acceptance, the only things that we really want.
