The kingdom of God, I realized, is for those who, like this woman, are poor in spirit. It is this very poverty that leads them to reach out for God, longing for him. In this place of trust, we are lifted up, made whole, and brought into the compassionate embrace of Jesus. Could my same-sex attraction be not simply a barrier but actually the means to seek greater grace and wholeness in him? Might it bring me close to him in ways that no other work or struggle could?
