In today's society, we are constantly bombarded with images of sex in our surroundings... Yet, I feel that it's taboo in the church... where people who struggle with sexual sins are unable to share it openly with others, even though they may need to seek help... Because it is the reality of our world today, I wonder if our students have these struggles in their lives... and if they do, I wonder if they would ever feel comfortable to seek help from us... I think this is why we have to constantly strive to love one another through the eyes of Christ... we don't have any right to pass judgment on others, but because we do so often, people are hesitant to be completely honest... sharing things only at the surface in fear of rejection...
I think that my students would feel more comfortable to share their struggles with me and with one another if I were able to create a safe environment for them... where they will feel accepted no matter what they are going through or have already experienced in their lives... and in order to create such a place, it has to start with me, where I make myself vulnerable to them, letting them know of the struggles I had growing up and how I sought help to overcome them in my life...
