Anon: Is it hard for you to be a part of a non-Christian family who doesn’t believe in the same things you do?
Me: It is more heartbreaking than difficult. Our hearts should break for those who don’t know God. Sometimes I feel kinda lonely without my family at church and everything, but I know that God is sovereign and He is always there to comfort me. I am now part of the family of God and have so many wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ. I know that God has called me to be a light and example for them. It is a blessing to be able to minister to them and to tell them of God’s wondrous acts and amazing things He is doing in my life. God was with me even when I didn’t know Him and I know He is with them as well. I am really blessed actually because many Asian parents don’t accept their children turning away from tradition and culture to follow God, but mine do. They have even gone to church and fellowship with me. Even my grandparents are amazed at how far God has taken me over the past 2 years. Praise God for all of this. Even though they still don’t believe in all of this, a seed was planted in their hearts. It is ultimately God who changes people’s hearts so all I can do is pray for them daily. I still love them so much and I hope that one day they can come to know God as well. I have a very real God who loves me, brothers and sisters in Christ who love me, followers across the world that are praying for me and care for me, and of course my family who also loves me. I wouldn’t ask for a life any other than the one the God has given me.

I am actually blessed that God has given me the opportunity to minister and be a light for my family. My family is not Christian, but that just encourages me to be the best man of God I can be in hopes that maybe one day they will come to know God. Do I ever wish that I was born into a Christian family? Of course I do, but I know that God has placed me in this situation for a reason and I could not ask for a life any better than the one I already have. I have learned so much from my brothers and sisters in Christ and been able to pray, have bible studies, and go to church with them like the Christian family I never had. I would like nothing more than for my family to one day devote their lives to Christ just like me and come with me to church like many of my friends’ families.

Why does God send people to hell if he loves them? - Anon
My Answer: Yes God does love us all, but in the end it is our own choice whether to accept His free gift or not. I come from a non-christian family so i can relate to a lot of these kinds of questions. I believe it is a blessing that God gives us this choice through His Son on the cross. Otherwise we would all be dead in our sins and have no choice at all. My family tells me that they are happy with the life they have been given no matter what the outcome is and I am blessed with the life I have been given. What better gift could God bless me with than to minister and be a light to my own family. I will love them no matter what happens and as long as they’re happy then so am I. For me it wasn’t about heaven and hell, but more about a loving God who spoke through those around me to bring me close to Him and allowed me to have a relationship with Him even though I constantly pushed Him away. God wants all people to come to Him, but in order to do so we must follow and put our trust in Jesus (John 14:6). God is the judge and He desires us to be obedient and faithful to Him.
