i greatly admire those christians who continue to walk in faith even if their families aren't christians. if you are one of those people, i salute you. it's not easy submitting to parents who are unbelievers. it's not easy praying for your family and having them despise you for wanting them to be saved. it's not easy seeing your family do things that aren't pleasing in God's eyes. you wish you could just pick them up, drop them in church, then BAM they love God. but it's not that easy...
you have to get down on your knees a lot. you have to shed a myriad of tears. you have to open yourself up to rejection. you have to be patient and loving and kind. most of all, you have to be brokenhearted for them. deeply in anguish for their spirits. its not about proving your point that there is a God or they need God. its about loving God that you want Him to be worshiped by every soul. its about loving your family that you want them to be saved and be with God in paradise for all eternity.
it hurts. it hurts deeply. but with God, all things are possible. through Jesus, blind eyes are open and strongholds are broken!
