I love you

It started like this......

"Sellittia call him, he needs us", I didn't know what had happended, all sorts of things ran through my mind. Had he been injured, was he sick, or had his parents passed away. I never could have imagined the next message I recieved.

This handsome, dark, well built man who has an amazing career, and whom I assumed always had a woman (and just did not want me to know) disclosed his interest in men.

I was in shock and all sorts of things ran through my mind, but I resisted the urge to be a therapist and focused on being his friend.

Before I go on to post about his journey and my opinion, which may not count for much, let me say "coming out/preparing to come out" is an undescribable experience.

There is still so much controversy about homosexuality in the church, within our families, jobs, and communities. God hates sin and He will judge each of us accordingly. But, how do we, not being God, determine who He loves and where they will spend eternity. We have so much more sin to preach about than homosexuality. What about the one who fornicates..does God not love Him and will he not be judged? What about the one who commits adultry, does God not love him and will he not be judged? What about spreading lies and talking to much (ouch)! What about rebellion and most of all our HEART which is full of stuffffffff......

Point is, we all sin and fall short of Gods glory. I thank God that He is forgiving and He loves me in spite of. Even while preaching and teaching His word, I have fallen short so many times. I have sinned knowingly and unknowingly and He still continues to use me.

I am proud of my friend for being honest and open. Despite what others may say, I love you and will support you no matter who you chose to love.

Everything else is Gods business and not mine. I have learned to stay in my lane.....
