Choosing Jesus Over Romantic Desires

I glanced to my right at church and saw a dear friend worshiping. I felt a jolt of joy. Three years ago, she was engaged to her college girlfriend. She'd grown up in the church but said she'd honestly learned more about the patterns on the ceiling of the building than she'd learned about the Bible. The day she told her parents she was definitely staying with her girlfriend, she got a tattoo of Romans 8:28 on her ankle: "For we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him." She was sure God couldn't be against her following her heart.
