Hello, My name is Zeinah, My mother is a Christian and my father is a Muslim. They are now divorced. First it was separation, then a happy family, then another separation, fights in between, running away, fear, mixed emotions, and of course divorce. Finally. Ever since I was a little girl I wanted my parents to get a divorce. I would lay in my bed and pray for my father to die. Thank God he didn't. I now have that relationship with my father that I'd always had the hunger for. Although he is short tempered, Muslim, isn't always fair, and "lives in sin" I'll always love him. I grew up hating everything about my father. He used to always yell at me, and put me and the rest of my family down (sometimes even hit my mother, my siblings, and I). Then he stayed in Georgia trying to sell his business, while we (my mother and the rest of my family) moved to Florida. We accepted Christ and became Christians. When my father came back to what he had left as his Muslim family was now a Christian family. Now, I don't know about you, but if that happened to me I'd be deeply hurt. And now I understand and I forgave and still forgive him for everything he's done and the things he says still. My father will probably always want me to be Muslim... I think that's where most of our conflicts come from. He will most likely always be stubborn, and persistent. But, that's just things he needs to work on. We are all human, and we all have our faults, but we can always receive healing, except Christ, and be set free, as long as there are good strong Christians out there praying, and intercessing. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE especially through Christ. So, continue to pray and try not to condemn, and I'm sure more Muslims day by day will begin to accept Christ as Lord and Saviour. Pray. |
