Thoughts for the Day


Today Tammy tells about finding her true identity: "If you had asked me if I was born gay, I would have given you a resounding 'yes.' I considered this as unchangeable as the fact that my hair was blond and eyes blue or that I was raised in Africa by missionary parents and lived in a boarding school from the age of seven.

"But the journey I've taken with God has convinced me that I was not born gay. I began to realize that although I 'felt' as though I was defined by my homosexuality, that was not who God created me to be. The power of God's Holy Word and his truth supersede any false sense of identity we may possessÂ-which is why I love his Word so much. God was not just calling me from homosexuality to heterosexuality. He was calling me to discipleship, to holiness.

"If you are on a similar journey, I encourage you not to focus on what you are leaving behind, but to focus on Jesus Christ. He loves you unconditionally. He will give you the strength you need. He has a good plan for your life and will help you become all he has designed you to be."



Consider This . . .

Are you hiding some truth about your lifeÂ-from God, from others and even from yourself? Truth is the only way to total freedom. Ask God to help you desire the truth. And then as he reveals truth to you as you pray and study the Bible, embrace it. Stop running from it. Allow God to take away your fearsÂ-and rejoice in the freedom that only he can give.
