It is clear from the comments of the disciples about 'Who is the greatest' that their motivations for being mixed up with Jesus were not 100% pure - they were aware that they were in line to get something out of it. They were wrong, in one sense - they didn't get to be ministers in Jesus's cabinet to rule the liberated ex-Roman province of Judea... But Jesus worked with those mixed motivations to achieve his will and shape the discpiple to be the apostles who bought the word to the Roman world In the case of us boylovers there is often a similarly mixed motivation in how we relate to boys - for our enjoyment as well as the good we can do them. But as long as we do not cross the line in our behaviour to sexualise the relationship, I believe that those mixed motivations can be taken by God and used to provide a good thing in the lives of the boys. I have no doubt that the relationship I've had with a guy who is now 30 whom I've known for 14 years, and another who is now 19 who's been in my life for 5 have been very positive for them, as well as enjoyable for me in a non-sexual way. It was a risk - but it is one that worked out well for all involved..... |
