Healed of My Same-sex Attractions

From fsaof.blogspot.com 

"They did not push the issue of my homosexuality. It was not an issue for them; they knew God would eventually take care of it.
And he did! The more I studied the Bible, the more my conviction grew. God and I stayed up long nights talking about homosexuality and why he made me this way if it was wrong. Slowly I heard his answers; slowly I came to realize homosexual behavior was wrong. I could not figure it out, but I knew I should not act out on my same-sex attractions. It was God speaking to me (not audibly), not the church telling me."

"Not called?"

Quote from William Booth:

'Not called!' did you say? 
'Not heard the call,' I think you should say.
- Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. 
- Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. 
- Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters, and servants and masters not to come there. 
- And then look Christ in the face, whose mercy you have professed to obey, and tell him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish his mercy to the world."
