Who
am i?
Celina
was rugged not only in her appearance but also in her whole being. Nothing
about her expressed womanhood, least of all the clothes she wore. Layers of
self protection kept both men and women far away.
Celina had lost her desire to be a
woman and to be intimate years before when her uncle had sexually abused her.
She had numbed her body from the experience, but she had also decided to run
away from womanhood, Celina viewed herself as an object- and only occasionally,
on a good day as a person.
We develop our sexual identity through
healthy interaction in a variety of relationships (parents, brothers &
sisters, teachers and other authority figures) as we grow up. These people help
to nurture and affirm us in our process of sexual development. If the people we
trust consistently neglect, shame or violate us, our sexuality may be seriously
and significantly damaged, hence our sexual development have been interrupted,
confused and often times distorted.
God desires to remove his people’s sense of
shame, his heart is broken over people whose sexual identity has been thwarted,
if we’ll allow him, he will not only fix us, he’ll also heal the wounds that
kept us from accepting our femininity or masculinity. He will restore our
self-worth and confidence as we look to him for affirmation and love.
Are you struggling with your sexual identity
or any form of identification? Tell your creator who knows you too well about
the pain & shame that you face daily. Pray with the whole of psalm 139,
remember that God loves you unconditionally and longs for you to experience
sexual wholeness.
