Called to be Different

Until my mid-fifties I was not only mocked and tormented by my sex drive, I hardly felt part of the human race. My virginity meant I had been denied what seemed to be a number of fundamental human experiences. Never having experienced the many trials and joys of marriage and parenthood made me feel abnormal and alienated from the bulk of humanity. There are so many high points and crises in the average person’s life that I had never known. I could have felt no greater shame had I, as a mature adult, had to walk through life in the body of a six year old.

Perhaps you are lucky enough to have no idea of what it’s like not to feel a full member of the human race. It adds a whole new dimension of isolation to one’s loneliness. I was often tempted to resent God for making me a sexual being, not stopping to realize how much worse things would be and how much more of a freak I’d feel if I had no sexual feelings.

Were I not a sexual being I might be spared much frustration, but my God-given sexuality empowered me to feel what most people feel. This ability to identify with people’s longings and frustrations and to imagine their joys – to truly weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice (Romans 12:15) – might come with a high price tag but it comes to ministering to people, it gives me the edge even on angels in.

Taken from SINGLES: Celebrate your sexuality!
