Changing

This is not as simple as you may think! Yes, God is powerful and yes, he wants us to be whole, but in his funny way he can seem quite contrary to us. I mean, what is simpler to him, than to wave his magic wand and declare us "straight", right? Wrong!
We were broken through relationships and so we will be healed through relationships. That is not to deny that God does heal us when we cry out to him, but his methods are not necessarily up to our specifications of comfort and ease!
To make matters worse, you same-sex attractions are hardwired into your brain, and so we have to weaken those habits of relating through "renewing of our minds": Literally! As they say, "old habits die hard", and they die best when replaced with new ones.
So get used to it...there is hard work ahead!!!
