"It is not essential that everybody should "feel" heterosexual. It is very hard, for some people perhaps possible but for some people not possible, to have full control over spontaneous, unwilled feelings."

She needs to read and study Romans.

To: The Ghost of FReepers Past
In Hebrews 4:15, we are told that “we do not have a High Priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin."

I find it both bracing and consoling to think of that. He was tempted! But without sin!

The Lord knows exactly what's up with us. Wasn't He tempted even on the Cross? He doesn't promise that we'll be free of temptations. He offers strength and grace. He offers us the closest companionship at all times, even when we say "Why have you abandoned me?" He offers Himself. Amen.
