Beautiful sermon. I once had a dream where I was sent back in time to witness this event. I was in a beautiful yellow gown that I got treated harshly for wearing in the real world as I am a transfemme and not exactly the most passing. I was in the presence of the lighting shining Jesus and as undescribably got brighter I felt very afraid. Me being in a yellow dress reminded me that God shines brighter than the sun. I certainly was in no position to try to contain or control God, especially being the frightened and tear ridden mess I was. Jesus kept being a living disco ball but he gently approached me and embraced me in his arms. My fear went away and my tears dried up as he reminded me that I am the person God made me to be and called me his beautiful and beloved daughter.
Lizzie, I so appreciate this so much and you are such an encouragement. I have a quote from you( from your book )in my sermon from yesterday and I am really enjoying going through God Didn't Make Us to Hate Us. People really loved it and I hope it means they will go buy your book as I did earlier this week. I especially loved in this post how you said, "God is never fooled by our foolish attempts to fool Her." Not only is that a brilliant statement but I love that you referenced God in the Divine Feminine, which I am working on a substack post about that today.
