I'M COMING OUT

 

^{MATTHEW 5: 13-16} Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. ¹⁴ Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. ¹⁵ Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. ¹⁶ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

 

I have not hid my light under a bushel, but I do feel that my salt might be losing it's flavor.  So no longer shall I hide, I shall place my candle gladly in the window.  This is my life, and I choose to live it this way.  It is not an illness that I should hide.  I am not ashamed that I shall not speak.  I want the world to know I am coming out.  I hope and pray that you will accept me as I am and not try to change me into something, or someone that I am not.  This is who I am, the way I am.  I do not want to change, I love being this way. 

 

I was not raised this way, though my parents did try to do right by me with what they knew.  Does my family accept me, it doesn't matter, I believe some  of them do.  There are many like me, they think as I think, they act as I act, they to are not ashamed of what and who  they have become.  

 

I was born to be like this, and I shall die like this.  Nothing no one says can change me.  I will not hid my true self.  I shall tell all I meet.  You don't have to accept me or my lifestyle, just let me be me.

 

I CHOOSE TO BE A CELIBATE BORN AGAIN WOMAN OF GOD, LIVING FOR CHRIST JESUS

 

 

1 CORINTHIANS 7 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. ² Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.⁸ I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.⁹ But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

 

I have been married and I have had children.  I am a heterosexual, always have been and now choose to live my life this way.  It is alarming to see so many people living in false dreams and lifestyles that the Bible tells us will not inherit the kingdom of Heaven. Such are some of you.  It is your choice.  I do not judge you as I wish you do not judge me.

 

1 Corinthians 6:9  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

 

God Bless each one who reads these words.  There is freedom in the Name of Jesus Christ.
