How will you ever be happy? Content in your own skin?
The world tells us we will be happy once we and others accept who we are. And who are we? Our sexuality, our profession, being a dad or mom, being a spouse. We are free to choose who we are, and our identity can then be anchored on that choice.
We will only find happiness and peace when we set the true north of our life in our identity with Christ. Who you are in Christ is unchangeable and nonnegotiable.
