Simultaneously, I felt God's loving presence with me in a very real way - perhaps it was the first time I had let my guard down and God could get through to me. But his presence communicated extraordinary warmth and tenderness. For the first time I knew at a deep level that he really cared. The important thing is that God's kindness brought me to repentance. My story is not to be presumed upon.
Many people ask why sexual sin is treated as being so serious and damaging.
From the perspective of a fallen human being, perhaps this is hard to understand. Suffice to say that it is serious in God's sight. No obvious resolution to my homosexual preference came at this time though. Many years were to pass before any significant new developments occurred. My wife Bren is a beautiful and very gifted woman, who has known many years of trial and tribulation herself, though in quite different areas to mine.
