My non-binary child just came out to me, and you're the reason I'm not freaking out

Hey, witches. I've been lurking this sub for a few days. I learned of it from the news because, you know. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you, witches. <br><br>My non-binary teenager came out to me just now. They've been in the process of coming out for a while now, but I'm the last to know. You see, I'm a Christian. It's important to me, and it's important to my child, too. But I'm not the sort of Christian who rejects them for this. Like Paul said, "for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." <br><br>I was going to be the mom who freaked out. I was going to be that Christian mom who kicked my kid out, and I know it. But something is changing inside me. And it was seeing your posts here. It was seeing how passionate you all are in your beliefs, and how Christ-like that is. I don't know if you all believe in God or not, but I can see the love of God in you, witches. <br><br>I was going to ruin everything, but you kept me up last night. I couldn't sleep. The Holy Spirit was working on me, and I could feel it. I went through every post, every comment, and I cried. I cried for all the children, and I cried for mine. I cried for the way I was going to treat mine. And I prayed. I prayed, and I prayed, and I prayed. And I felt the love of God. <br><br>But it was also your words. It was reading your stories, your advice, your passion. It was reading and feeling the love of Christ in you. So many people have said that you are the minions of Satan, that you worship the devil; but I believe that Satan is the one causing us to reject our children like this. But I won't. I'm not going to ruin my child's life. I'm going to be a good Christian. I'm going to love them like Christ loved me. <br><br>So thank you. Thank you so much, witches. Thank you.
