What is healing?

This involves working with God and other people to meet the unmet needs of the child and adult, and to overcome the problems which prevent this happening. It must be an ongoing process of growth and development which will never be completed until we are with the Lord Jesus in Heaven. It's not a process of growth unique to those with homosexual feelings, but something we should all work at, with God. Walking down this road means we learn more about ourselves and God. In particular, we discover our real sense of identity ('being') as the negative messages about ourselves are transformed and we begin to understand the truth of what has happened, and continues to happen, in our lives.

Sometimes sexual feelings change as a part of this process, but often they don't. However, whatever sexual feelings we have today or tomorrow, we can be sure our Heavenly Father longs for us to be fulfilled in His Kingdom and not sexually frustrated. We must look beneath the 'presenting problem' of sexual frustration (however it may be experienced) and see the underlying issues. What are they telling us about the way we see ourselves and God? Our sexual feelings should be a catalyst for growth and healing. They are a vital part of our story and value in God's Kingdom.
