Some of you may know that I'm trying to help 'convert' so to speak four important people in my life into Christianity. The first one, the one I told you mocked me before and taken the mick out of my cross is the one I'm going to tell you about...
Today I bottled up the courage and taken a giant leap, and dived right into a deep and meaningful conversation with him, his name is Harry. He seemed completely interested in this subject of salvation!! He was asking questions all night til we departed from each other, and I told him all about (to the best of my knowledge) heaven and hell, and that he was hell bound etc. I also told him about the significance of Jesus' death for us, I even cried when speaking about that part, and guess what.. he cried with me! I was SO touched, sooooo proud of him! So happy for him! He said he was considering praying to God tonight and asking for salvation and forgiveness!
What joyous news! Now this is where you come in... he mentioned that his love for his earthly family would cause him to rather be in hell for eternity with them there all suffering together than to be in heaven for a day without them.... what can I say to that?! I'm not a brilliant christian, I'm still growing.. eventually he mentioned that would be given a choice of his whole family being in heaven or hell he answered heaven. I told him the good news that his whole family could be in heaven! Good news indeed brethren!
I fear that if when we, or me alone, eventually gets round to telling his family the good news of salvation, that, if they reject it, he would follow in their footsteps and we'd be back to square one again. PLEASE PRAY!! Im desperate for him to come into relationship with Jesus! I desire that so badly! How awful it would be to know that he would be in hell... I know Ive ranted on, so please pray for me. Thanks.
