It simply didn’t feel safe to let the world see who I really am, but there is safety with the Father – safety to come to Him as I am. He sees me as I am, and I do not need to hide from Him. He sees my mistakes and failures – He sees that I am gay – and still He is there for me, loving me, taking care of me, and desiring me. I have been hiding for many years – 33 years. In Him I can come out of hiding. He holds the key to my freedom! With Him there is true freedom!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">He has loved me from the beginning. Before I understood anything about love, He loved me. His love for me is not based on my behavior or actions. His love for me is not conditional. He died for me – despite my failures, sin, brokenness, and lack of obedience. He did it for me! I can live in His victory over sin, death and satan! I can live in a close relationship with Him! He is my home! I can be at home with Him as I find a place of belonging with Him, something that many in this world will not offer me.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">God is the One leading me through the storms and through the uncertainty. He gives direction, guidance, understanding and revelation and therefore I can run to Him and trust Him! And be in intimate relationship with Him!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">What seemed to be the hinderance to entering into God’s presence, and felt like a hinderance to me from serving Him and what hindered me from experiencing His love to the full, is not be the theme of my story, but just part of the story that has brought me to a place of truly meeting Him and experiencing His full love, grace and compassion and it has helped me discover deeper purpose in live - love.<o:p></o:p></p><p> <span style="line-height: 107%;">Instead of hiding, it is time to be strong and courageous! It is not a time to give up! It is a time to keep on seeking Him and searching after Him! He is home! I need Him more than anything else. He is the goal and purpose! He is my place for belonging! When no one else will understand or accept – He will! He is the place where I can take off my mask and just be myself!</span><br></p>
💕 They love it! 💕
