Before I begin I must preface the story I am about to share.
The words in my mind make me shudder in fear because I know what’s coming – the revealing of some of the darkest places of my past. But they have to be exposed. Wounds that remain hidden have no life to heal. And so I tell you my story so that I may be healed. So that I will no longer be a captive, hiding and ashamed, but instead will experience true freedom through overcoming.
I also tell you so that the enemy does not win. It was too painful for him to win. If I do not find freedom, he wins. If I do not use my story to save lives, he wins also. He intended to harm me, but God intended it for good. Now it’s on to accomplish what is being done – saving other people from similar pain (Genesis 50:20). If one person reads this story and finds hope, freedom, or courage from it, turning to God in the midst of their struggle, then my story was not in vain.
What this is not is a discussion on homosexuality.
The Bible is the inerrant, infallible Word of God, and God says a lot about homosexuality. I encourage each of us to start there to learn what He says.
And so I begin. You can read the story at DevotionalDiva.com where I am honored to be guest posting today.
