Hi Scott, I think that standing firm in our convictions regardless of what the world thinks is important. Perhaps God wants us to be truthful to ourselves, above all else. He already knows what is in our hearts. In the past I think that I have told people of my sexual attraction out of selfishness. That I wanted to be able to tell them the truth and not have to pretend. But I am not sure that God was looking for this. He may have wanted me to "carry my cross" quietly. There are times and people that should be told in a prophetic voice; and there are times and people that are not required to know, and we should go about our lives humbly without fanfare. So, I am trying to say that it is difficult to know if God really wants me to tell others or not. Sometimes the truth is important to challenge peoples' assumptions. And sometimes the truth is hurtful and creates more difficulties and stumbling blocks. Peace of Christ, Bach
