I know that I am not better than anyone else but also know that spiritual growth is necessary to become a more humble and productive servant of the Lord. Is it not a good thing to have a desire to better yourself in the eyes of the Lord as long as it does not impact your humility in how you view others?

I struggle with lots of things. Anger, doubt, lust, pornography, bisexual attraction. I have a hard time with the last two because I am embarrassed. I recently was unfaithful to Christ by having anonymous sex with someone. I haven't been able to tell anyone. I am worried about my risk of STIs. This was a one time thing and my first time. I am so ashamed that I don't know how to pick myself up and keep moving most days. I am embarrassed. I don't fear God not forgiving me but people in my life forgiving especially a future wife. I have struggled with homosexual attraction and it is so hard to figure out and work through. This day and age makes it even harder with the constant pressure to accept that as my identity rather than choosing Christ as my identity. I need some encouragement and prayers.
You're already making progress. Exposing sin, as you have done here, is the first step toward turning away from it. It loses it's appeal when in the light. If your shame is from satan, refuse it. If it is conviction from God, welcome it as a tool to use to help you draw closer to Christ. Cry out to God. Let him know that you can't do this on your own. Beg him to help you in your weakness. He will draw near to you.
It's about dying daily. Denying the flesh. It's so terribly terribly hard... I don't envy you your struggle, but I know that the struggle, and victory through Christ, is what will make you strong. My prayers are with you, brother.

You have been very brave in this confession. I find it is hard enough to admit things, even to myself, let alone someone else. I have said a heartfelt prayer for you and the struggles you are facing. If it is any comfort to you we all face are own personal battle each day in various struggles and you are not alone. Try to make the Lord your own personal best friend as He is only one that can light your way in the path that you must go if you desire meaning and truth in your life. Have a safe journey and Godspeed.
It needs a long time. The person I´ve invented is not like Frankestein but it could be easy if I could listen to Him, as I read posts or the music I like.
Whatever the case, I tried my best by guessing and my concience is clear: I walked by the faith I knew or that one I thought I knew... This morning I told my brother, about the post I mentioned above and he told me: "You were too close to be a pastor or a preacher". I laughed! Because I know who I am, and I´m staring at what GOD would invent from me soon.

I think that I can be a real annoying person at times and for that I am sorry. I do not mean to be that way or hurt anybody. I must be a hard person to relate to or maybe I am doing something wrong. Perhaps I just have overstayed my welcome here at CC. It has been a slice but it is probably time to consider leaving before somebody else's feelings get hurt.
