I found out recently that one my many cousins does not support gay marriage. I told her in writing, "It's good to know where you stand, cousin."
She replied that Jesus loves me and that He's the only One who can fill "that God-size hole" in my heart.
I wanted to ask her, "Do you feel the same way, cousin? That Jesus is the only One who can fill that hole in your heart? If so, why did you have to marry (husband's name)? Or is Jesus not enough for you that you had to marry someone mortal and physical that you can touch and feel and make love to?"
But I didn't. I simply reiterated what I told her the first time: "Once again, cousin, it's good to know where you stand."
It's alright. We're not close. We were childhood playmates who rekindled a couple times briefly in our adulthood but that's about it.
She cannot sum up my life in the same way I cannot hers because we haven't spent a respectable amount of time with each other.
We are connected by blood. That's all.
There's a saying that goes, "Friends are family you make for yourself".
Thank God for friends.
