For Parents, Family, Friends

"Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves, but on God, who raises the dead."                    

                                                                                                         (II Corinthians 1:9-NIV)

"Mom, Dad, I'm gay!" 

"Mom, Dad, I'm transgender!"

No parent is ever ready to hear those words. The feelings of agony, fear, and sense of failure are very real. Grief quickly overtakes the emotions, and an endless interrogation begins in the mind. "Where did I go wrong?", "Did I cause this somehow"? "Where do I go from here?", "Who can I talk to?" "Why, God?"

The questions and emotions are very real. Faith in God and Jesus is challenged to the core, and for some it is very difficult to manage the pain. Yet, there is a child, a loved one, a friend that trusted you enough and summoned up bold courage to share their inner most thoughts and feelings with you. They need you now more than ever. Will you be there for them or turn and walk away?

Matthew 19:26 Ministries can help you navigate through these issues and equip you with the tools to respond to your loved one with love, compassion, grace, and truth. 

God has not failed you. He is there with you in the midst of the pain and confusion you may be feeling.
