Need Help With A Friend

I love your passion and it’s thrilling to know you want your friends to share your faith. Although I do believe God calls us to share the truth with non-believers, we have to be careful in how we do so. Right now, I suggest you allow the love of Christ to show through you. Treat your friend as Christ would; stay grounded in your faith and continue to pray for her. You are much more likely to win her by loving her with actions rather than trying to force your beliefs on her. Avoid confrontations or arguments and keep in mind that this is what is being practiced in her home. It puts your friend in a difficult position to have to choose between what her mother believes is the truth and what you do. We know there is one truth and we know that truth lies with Jesus Christ as our Savior. Keep in mind that God is big. He hears your prayers and knows you desperately want your friend to come to know Him. I strongly believe that when we continually pray for those we love to come to know Christ, He will answer.
