We just can't give up our homosexual feeling and all that goes with them. We'd like to give up the hurts and the bad scenes, but not the fleeting thrills. That's expecting too much. God doesn't tell us it will be easy. In fact, we are told in our passage that it will hurt.
Some sacrifices lead to death.
Jesus's sacrifice did. But God doesn't want us dead, He want us alive. The sacrifices we are to make are to resist the devil and say no to temptation. We are to endure the withdrawal symptoms from homosexuality. Withdrawal symptoms always cause pain.
