After-thoughts about Shikin

Truth be told, I did think a lot about Shikin. I've heard of cases of TS (transexuals) who chose to be this way, they expect themselves to eventually be a straight guy again. But Shikin was different, talking to her opened up my horizons. For a while, I was confused about what to make of this, was she created this way? Is it wrong for her to be like this? But isn't her lifestyle now sinful - leading a controversial lifestyle, both in her occupation and her sexual inclination? Should I tell her, she was not born this way, and she should change?

Then I realised, what does it matter what I think of her? What matters is what God thinks of her. All man have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So be it Shikin, me or any other person along the street, we all have sinned. Therefore, I'm in no position to cast the first stone - judging if this lifestyle she leads is sinful and that she should revert to being a normal 'guy'. My job, is to be an ambassador of love towards her, to give her a little window to glimpse upon the love that God has for her. My God is so big, so strong and so mighty - there's nothing my God cannot do for her. God hates sin, but not the sinner. So why should I let the sin stop me from preaching Christ to the sinner?

What I think of her, or of any other person I come across doesn't really matter. What God wants me to do... that's all I need to know...
