For many in the GLBT community it is hard to open ourselves up and trust God because of the past hurts we have suffered at the hands of those who used His name. For some they fear that to trust Christ and to open their life to him would take away the freedom and Identity they have now found for themselves. However nothing is further from the truth.....He has come to set us free from the shame, condemnation, fear, and to inable us to live free in the identity that is our birthright in Him. Religion focuses on what Christ has saved us from but many times never mentions what Christ has freed us for......He sets us free to live the abundant life that can only come when one is living from their true heart and being who God made them to be.
Religion tries to conform everyone into a mold to look and sound and act alike......however our uniqueness and individuality is a gift of God and you and I touch lives with these gifts that others may not be able to.....Don't compare yourself but celebrate yourself....allow Christ to set you free to be the total you that you were meant to be....
Faith and spirituality is an adventure and is leads us to where we belong and fit and does notrob us of peace, joy or contentment.......religion however is man made and is more about power and control....don't confuse the two.
one equals freedom the other bondage
