Not Just Because It's Wrong, but Because It Breaks His Heart

Before we break these next few passages down, I just want you to chew on them a little bit, in hopes that as you swallow, God will make Himself known, and the sadness and sickness that fills His heart will also fill yours. 

Not just because it's wrong and disgusting, but because it devastates the Lord.

Jesus break our hearts for what breaks Yours!

"That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other.  And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved. Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done.  Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip.  They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents.  They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy.  They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too." Romans 1:26-32

Jesus as we chew on the depth, the reality, the sadness of these verses, let them open our eyes and break our hearts. Speak to us through these passages. Speak directly to our hearts and show us any of these sins that You see in us. Amen
