A “pronouns” discussion started with some other mothers last night at one of my kid’s activities. I had chatted with these moms about some other topics and then this one came up. I shot up several arrow prayers to God about how to respond!
Earlier this week,
at my John Bible study, I was reminded that Jesus is and has all truth. I was
challenged to not be afraid to share the TRUTH I know! I was also convicted
that if I truly believe Jesus is the only source of abundant life, then my life
will reflect that.
So, at an
appropriate point in the “pronouns” conversation, I chimed in that God created
us male and female. He created us as either a boy or a girl and that’s how it
works. No one commented. They just changed the subject.
Whether the other
mothers believe it or not, Jesus was with God in the beginning and created them,
their kids and everything around them!
John 1:1-5
1In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He
was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were
made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In
him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light
shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
John even started
his book with the exact phrase used in the first verse of the first book of the
Bible!
Genesis
1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Who do you know
that needs to hear about Jesus, the Truth, from the beginning? How will you
prayerfully share truth with them, even if it’s just short phrases, as opportunities
arise? Will you also pray for me for any future conversations with these mothers?
Please pray I can boldly take even small opportunities to speak truth, in love
and grace.
