love in complex society

Believing you are in the wrong body, can be complex.
 “the truth is the truth and our message is the same”, while acknowledging there is a distinction between how we respond to activists seeking to ‘deconstruct gender’ and genuine sufferers.
“Our political engagement and our pastoral practice can’t be two completely separate things”,  
 So says>>Rob Smith  a theologian who studied at Moore Theological College,Australia.
l find this is best advice on the complexities around this issue.
We must strive to understand people,listen to their tale,reflect back a pastoral heart,instead of being judgemental.
Their is maturity,perhaps it comes from being a certain age,also a certain vulnerability now hold in own life.
Measured by love for our neighbours and a concern for wider society, Searching always to reflect the pastoral heart of God.

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
