“The best decision I’ve ever made.”
“The best decision I’ve ever made.”
This post ISN’T for those who couldn’t care less about God. This post ISN’T for those who are secure in who they are. This post IS for you if you are questioning if God made a mistake when He made you.
I can’t imagine what this person has been through. I can’t imagine the internal dialogue that must take place when you see your own reproductive organs and think “that isn’t right. That isn’t me.”
There are some real warnings in what they said
-be prideful in who you are (pride is always a trap)
-calling bigots those who disagree with them (no doubt I’m sure some said unfair hateful things.)
-she has come out as trans but still doesn’t know what she is… she mentions maybe she is “pan-.” (Note: what a dangerous game to play… taking these dangerous, irreversible,medical procedures, when you’re still up in the air on who you are.)
I don’t want to be the guy who sits on the fence so let me be clear: this person suffers from a mental illness. And instead of helping him, the world has made his suffering far worse. If you are skeptical, put on your calendar ten years from now to check in and see how Draven is doing. See if Draven is still doing ok. I pray and will be filled with joy if his mind, body, and soul survives these procedures that he is currently so excited about. By God’s grace I hope Draven is ok even if he continues to walk in this for many years. But for most who pursue this path the end is dark, lonely, and painful.
Imagine an 80 pound young adult went to the doctor and said she was anorexic. Imagine the doctor said, “Ok. If that’s what you think is wrong, let’s put you on weight loss pills. Let’s perform a stomach surgery so you can eat less.” Would that not be abuse?
If you are thinking of stepping into the LGBT lifestyle, I’m begging you, please do not. God makes no mistake. You were born with the right parts. Your parents were thinking more clearly when they named you, then you are thinking right now. Even if they are crazy people they were filled with love and joy and hope that moment they decided on your name.
So what can you do?
-Find someone who loves God, who loves the Bible, and who loves you. Tell them what you are thinking. Ask them for help. Tell them there is conflict between your body and your mind and you are asking for their help.
-Don’t rush to any irreversible decision. Dont be quick to “come out” because it will crush many people who love YOU so much (by the way rushing to a decision that crushes the people who love you the most is a hallmark of pride.)
-Send me a message and I’ll do anything I possible can for you.
-Or hate me and forget everything above. But one day, if you begin going down the path of the 50%+ of people in the trans community who attempt suicide, before you do that—contact me then! It can be ten years from now, just contact me or a loved one. Do not listen to the lies. You are not so far down the darkness that you can’t find the light again. It doesn’t matter how many steps you’ve taken away from God. It only takes one step to return.
I say these things because I love YOU. It’s awkward to talk about these things. I may take some heat for this. You might call me a bigot—for now. But I do love you. I want you to be happy. I want you to flourish—long term! I want you to have awesome friendships, relationships, and strong family ties. I want you to have a super successful career. I want you to have deep joy and peace. I want you to find rest for your tired soul. If you want those things long term it can only come by surrendering all to God and embracing who He made you to be. The LGBT community may promise those things, but it cannot deliver.
Choose real love. Choose truth. Choose to flourish long term. Choose to pursue Jesus.
