I’m posting this piece for all those who are yet believing for your unsaved love ones. After I was born again I began praying for my siblings from my biological family. I was adopted but had contact with them. My oldest brother claimed to be an atheist from an early age and you just could not talk to him about Jesus and if I tried he would cuss me out and say terrible things about my Lord. Yet, I continued to pray for his salvation for many years. One day I was told he was in the hospital and I went to visit him. When I walked into his room I saw an empty bed , but there was an open Bible on the bed stand. When the nurse came in I inquired about him and she told me he had been taken down for a procedure. I asked if I could go to see him and she said absolutely not!!! Then I said I was making a pastoral visit and she took me to him immediately. When I stepped up to his bed there he began to cry and I told him that I saw the open Bible. I said, “Leroy, are you reading the Bible” and his answer was “sure.” I rejoiced to find out that he had given his heart to the Lord recently when he was watching a TV preacher. I praise the Lord that I prayed for all four of my siblings to be saved and three of them, I know accepted Jesus as their Savior!!!!
Don’t give up…….keep praying Moms, Dads, Grandparents, Siblings and Friends!!! It is not God’s will that any would perish……..but that all will come to repentance!
Leroy wanted me to read Psalm 38 which he felt described him!
