The word from the priest and the song renewed my hope. Right now whenever I am tempted or am troubled by my same sex feelings I call upon God to give me self-control and when I fall, I repent, change my ways and I go back to him. He says in Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,and I will give you rest.” I have since grown closer to the Lord whom I have come to learn is compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness (Psalm 86:15). I resolved and am willing to pursue his will in opposite sex marriage and I believe he will guide me through.
