Same Sex Attraction are Not Banana's!

Often times as humans, we think we know and understand every aspect of people's problems. We tend to assume but that is just human nature, the only problem with this is we tend to forget that we only see the outside of what is really going on. We tend to think people are like bananas. If they are good and dandy on the inside they will be yellow but if they are bad on the inside, the peel will start to turn brown and then black. But that's the thing, this is not the case!
Therefore, we must learn to never judge. It's hard because we don't have an x-ray vision where we can see the true inside story of everyone. So instead of thinking everything that person has something wrong with them, let's think of everything we can do to understand that person and how to help. Seeing them through God's eyes.
I watched an insightful video on understanding same sex attraction. It made me feel sorry for the things and factors that caused them to feel this way. Some MAJOR factors were child abuse, dad being absent, gay porn, not being accepted by peers, and etc. The list goes on. All of these factors lead up to what they felt caused them to be attracted to the same sex. Many said that the hardest time of their lives were when they were attracted to the same sex. Not because people didn't accept them but because you can never be satisfied with something that you don't need. That sounds like a very harsh statement but that can sometimes be the reality of it. When you don't need something you are never satisfied. Although they were sexually active with other partners they could never be satisfied. But after therapy, they changed and understood their temptation more. Unfortunately, people also have misunderstood the idea of therapy, it is not emotionally damaging to them. And sometimes they don't change, and that's fine too. But it our job to take time to understand these things, and to always remember...Their our always exceptions to the rule. Let's challenge ourselves to see everybody through God's eyes. Before we continually judge what we don't see or understand, let's remember..."Do not judge, you don't know what storm God has asked them to walk through." -Unknown
