Baptized Quote by Tish Harrison Warren
““When my daughters were baptized, we had a big celebration with cupcakes and champagne. Together with our community we sang “Jesus Loves Me” over the newly baptized. It was a proclamation: before you know it, before you doubt it, before you confess it, before you can sing it yourself, you are beloved by God, not by your effort but because of what Christ has done on your behalf. We are weak, but he is strong.””

![“Jesus loves you AND your partner and wants you to know how much he cares! That's like a daddy not loving his lil boy cuz he's gay and that is WRONG and very sad! Like I said, everyone deserves to be happy. I am a Christian and I love you [Perez] - gay or not. BECAUSE you are no different that…” quote by Miley Cyrus](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f60/miley-cyrus-613_boys_jesus-loves-you-and-your-partner-and-wan_506549.jpg)
