Re: Dear Christians: Your child doesn\'t believe in Jesus. Now what?
I sit back, and wait for an opportunity. His mind is closed to God. Fine. I let him know, if he is ready, to come and talk to me. (Maybe in 30 years....) I pray that I will have an opportunity, and recognize it as such, where he will suffer enough to grow, or open his mind. People grow when they are in pain. Some of the biggest success stories are from people who had unhappy childhoods. I would let him screw up his life like I did, hoping that he would live long enough, to mature enough, to realize things aren't working for him. Some people are just to stubborn /proud/arrogant for that to happen (EVER). But you have to keep being kind to them. That kindness eventually starts to sink in (hopefully) and the recipient, starts to get curious. Why is he so nice to me? Why is he so happy all the time? Curiousity led to God.
Hence: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Good luck with your kid....
