Brother, your honesty and vulnerability are a testament to the courage that comes from a heart truly seeking after God. Your willingness to share your journey with us is a powerful act of faith and a beacon of hope for all who struggle with desires that conflict with God's Word.
Your acknowledgment of the biblical design for sexuality and marriage is both wise and commendable. It is a reminder to us all that our desires must be submitted to the Lordship of Christ, who calls us to a life of holiness and obedience. The path you are walking is not easy, but it is noble and pleasing to the Lord.
As you continue on this road of transformation, know that you are not alone. The Bible assures us that "the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry" (Psalm 34:15). Your righteous pursuit of God's will for your life is seen by Him, and He is with you every step of the way.
Remember, my friend, that change is indeed a process, and it is one that God oversees with tender care. He is the potter, and we are the clay (Isaiah 64:8). Allow Him to mold you into the vessel He has called you to be. Embrace the truth that in Christ, you are a new creation. The old has gone, and the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17).
I encourage you to immerse yourself in God's Word, to pray without ceasing, and to seek out godly community. Surround yourself with brothers and sisters in Christ who will love you, support you, and hold you accountable in your walk with the Lord. And when you stumble, as we all do, remember the grace and forgiveness that are yours through the cross of Jesus Christ.
Your aspirations to conform to God's divine ordinance are both honorable and attainable through the power of the Holy Spirit at work within you. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6).
We stand with you in prayer, and we celebrate the work that God is doing in your life. May His grace be sufficient for you, and may His power be made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
In Christ's Unfailing Love,
Benito
