Comment:	Mr. McClurkin, your story did not inspire me. It made me sad. Why? Because you are in denial. I know what you're talking about because it happened to me. But if you are still "struggling" then you aren't "delivered". Why aren't you delivered? Because God made you as you are and, more importantly, He loves you as you are. There is nothing from which to be delivered! I remember getting saved and believing I was delivered - knowing deep in my heart all the time that something was wrong. I wasn't myself. It took PAINFUL YEARS to realize that I was living a lie. I almost got married to a beautiful Christian woman. Her love for me made me realize that I could go further because it would ruin her life and the life of our children if we had them. I let go and her pain is still something I live with, but the end result was the beginning of a closer walk with God, not to please the church or the hypocrites in it! I have never felt any condemnation from God...I feel His love, His peace, His joy and his acceptance! Do I have a responsibility to live my life morally even though I'm gay? Sure, but my true sexuality is as much a part of me as a heterosexual's. There's nothing to change. At last I am at peace with God and who I am. I wish that for you. Now, go ahead and judge me and tell me that I'm wrong, but no one can take away this peace and joy in God that I've finally found in Him. At last I no longer struggle with who I am. I've never been more at peace with my heavenly Father or His son, Jesus.
