Amen!!! I have always loved my children but I cannot make them love me. So, when they have rejected me I move on as though they are dead to me.
If they come back one day it would be wonderful but If they do not I am fine because dead people will not be resurrected by our efforts. If they are not born again they cannot be our companions because they do not walk the same path we are walking.
Our brothers and sisters and spiritual children are those who love Christ. We must develop our relationships based on Christ, not blood relations. Just some thoughts, I hope helps those who feel abandoned.
The brothers and sisters, sons and daughters who are born again are our family. These are the people we will spend eternity with, they love our Savior and appreciate us because of Christ in us.
When we focus on those who love Christ while praying for those who have not yet found Him to become born again we will not grieve anymore, we will rejoice.
When we agonize over lost relationships that we did not cause we are diluting our walk and our witness. We must carry on focusing on what God has given us to do and stay there. We cannot be fully effective if we are distracted by sad feelings of loss when there is no solution we can see outside of Christ, He is the key to it all.
