Knowing Your Identity Through Christ

Many people who have been sexually abused struggle with a myriad of hard-hitting issues. Without the help of counseling and an adequate support system, a person might slip into a treacherous life of confusion. Author Eric Merriweather suffered much the same fate. After a horrific childhood happening, his formidable years took on a whole new meaning. As he developed into a young man, his confusion toward his sexuality spiraled out of control. Slipping in and out of relationships with both men and women, the void for love in his life only began to grow and deepen. By the time the shocking news of an HIV diagnosis came in, Eric knew he had to change his life. He knew he couldn't do it alone. Eric sought out the counsel of his local church, pastor, and friends. Slowly but surely, with lots of prayer, Eric slowly began to put his life back together and address the deep-rooted pains left from his childhood. He wholly accepted his need for Christ, and the emptiness he felt for so long disappeared. It's never too late, and he realized the important thing about life is Knowing Your Identity in Christ. This is a must-read for any person who's ever struggled with feelings and thoughts of homosexuality after molestation and abuse while trying to live a life appointed of God.
