What do we do????

You know, Christians, those who are truly loving Christ and are dependent on Him, are in a real quandary, especially if their loved ones don’t trust Christ the same way.... For example, as we grow older, or our parents do, and they are not trusting Christ so, as they keep telling you, “dust to dust, ashes to ashes” there is nothing once we are gone........ what do we do? Of course there is that hope that in the end, God will intervene and get through to them in their dying hour, and they will be saved. But then there is the same expectancy, that no matter what, they will be, or could be.....or are..... lost. I know of a wonderful friend of mine, she is well gone now, lived to be 94 and loved the Lord with all her heart. She would have a young woman come and visit her and this young woman would tell her “I am praying for you, Linda...” So Linda would say, “Well, don’t pray that I will get better, pray that the Lord will call me home soon...” So, now, if our loved ones, the ones who do not accept that there is a God or heaven, but dust to dust, and we do pray that the Lord will intervene, but the chances are just as much that these loved ones will end up in hell. We won’t know. So, in a manner of speaking, no matter how much they are suffering right now, here on earth, if they do not go to heaven, their suffering will be a lot worse, once they have died....That is the quandary....how to tell them this? Both my parents loved the Lord, so I know where they are, but how many of us have friends, who, nearly always at some one’s funeral will say, “Well, they are better off now, where they are, no more suffering....” But....are they?
