I pray to the Lord all the time over this, it is a ache that lingers in my heart, for my 28 yr old nephew to attack me and tell me he is a pagan and my christian life was a joke putting it mildly here, and my sister allowing him to talk to me like this, was unbelievable. And as for the alcoholic brother he is still jobless and continues his drinking. But its so worth being a christian to me, God has been there for me, and I know God can do miraculous things in my life and in the lives of your loved ones, its a challenge as a believer to take God at His word...and i know things in life will shake your faith indeed. desi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been through some similar things myself (maybe not as harsh as yours). It still hurts to be rejected and mocked by a family member. It is hard to be treated with disrespect and forgive that person... But we have to remember that Christ was mocked, scorned, and rejected. He still loves and gave his own life for us. We just have to forgive those people and pray that they will come to know Christ. Until then, they will not know the trials that Christians go through. They don't understand that we have struggles and temptations. God's grace and mercy helps us overcome those adversities. Just because we are Christians does not mean we are immuned to sin. We just allow a mighty God to deliver us from that sin ! ! 1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
