For those who have persistently failed to understand that God made everyone, and offers forgiveness for all — even those who can’t measure up to cultural expectations.  The shame, the guilt and rest of the trial we have faced will be expertly and wisely judged by the Lord himself.

Still, knowing that chemicals are against Gods will for us, we must all rest in his grace.  Being a possessor of this Gene only means that one will have to lean harder on Christ.

For what is impossible with men (to act against our nature, for instance) is possible with God.  Nothing is impossible with God.

Amen.
