There are many great testimonies out there of people who have left their homosexual life for Jesus. I was watching one such testimony and he was talking about lust, pride and idolatry which struck a chord with me, so that’s how this poem was born.
–
Anything that gets in the way of looking at God is to be condemned.
Whether lust, pride or idolatry
They all lead to sinful actions
A chain reaction
A fractured hope
Gradually the light grows dim unless we pick up our cross and follow him.
Born gay, born this way?
My weakness, my refusal to take control
Refusal to let go of lustful thoughts
Of pride in my identity, that new found entity of my youth
Pride in not conforming
A pride in sinful living
Misguided enjoyment of being different
Declining to remove the idol of a sexual lifestyle
Rejecting the message of a fertile future, a smoother path
A hope of peace and rest at last
God and homosexuality do not blend
He died on the Cross to mend the gaping wounds and agonising pain that claims the minds of those that fail to surrender to his love
To relieve the burden of their shame, who fail to call out his name to be saved
So here’s the scoop, the latest news
You are not alone…
Jesus has shown again and again that he walks with us and takes our pain
He does it all for us.
Just bow your head and ask his forgiveness,
Surrender
Cry out to God
He has clearly proclaimed that he who loses his life for God, will find themselves once more
He will take it all away, a promise that He will pave the way
He strengthens and fortifies his children
He loves you
You are his special creation.
