Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and community. I am a non-denominational female, Christian. I am 30 years old. I have Aspergers, Depression and Anxiety and goodness knows what else.
I will quickly explain why I need prayers.
Recently I felt the need to post my thoughts on the same sex marriage legalization that was recently made legal. At first I remained neutral to the whole thing, but I remembered something in scripture about Christians and how they should not be passive and undecided about such things.
So I wrote a msg on Facebook publicly. I said that while i may be pro-man/woman marriage, i do not hate, or condemn people of other lifestyle choices. That it isn't for me to judge, but that it is in God's hands. Also that I still love and respect everyone, who may be gay or are pro-same sex marriage, i can still love them, doesn't mean i have to agree with their choices.
However, people i hold very dear and respect have shunned me, my family is angry with me, and one of them has pretty much disowned me, and others have insulted me. I feel very alone and heartbroken.
On top of this, i feel guilty as well. I don't take back anything that i wrote, but i feel like maybe i should've just not have said anything?
My mother told me to apologize for offending everyone and to take down the facebook post. Which i refuse to do. It would be like taking back what I said, and i dont regret what i said. It's maybe the how i chose to express myself that i am regretting.
It hurts me, that people that i know and love are offended by what i wrote and are basically ignoring me. No one will talk to me, I have tried to reach out and talk about it, but they clearly want non of it.
These are the times that i wish we could just send Jesus a text or call him on the phone and ask him what to do. I know i can pray and talk to Jesus about it already, but i feel like there is a wall between us right now. I would explain that too, but i dont think this is the proper place to write it out. I also don't want to bore you with my whole life story.
I just felt a great need to reach out to other people like me. I just ask for some prayers, as i feel horribly alone.
Thanks in advance and God bless.
