Listening
I used to listen for God's voice. At the end of my prayers I would stop...shut my mind up...and listen. Sometimes I would hear him in my heart. There was a time when I heard Him almost every day.

After I accepted the fact that I am attracted to women I stopped talking to Him. It wasn't necessarily because I felt guilty, but because I didn't want Him to tell me it was wrong. My basic belief was that being homosexual is not something you can choose. So...I don't believe the attraction to the same sex is sin. But I always believed the practice was the sin. "Love the sinner, hate the sin." When I accepted my attraction and started questioning my unchallenged beliefs I didn't want to hear an answer.

Now I do. I haven’t heard Him say this is wrong. I haven’t felt convicted about my attraction or my actions. But I haven’t heard Him say, “It’s ok. This is what I want for you. This is what I choose for you. This is for your best.”
I really want to hear Him say that.
Have you heard Him say that?
What did it sound like?
