There are so many people in my family who do not know Jesus.
I married before I was a Christian, and it is hard, as the Bible says.
A lot of my husband's family are against "religion". My sister-in-law says she knew a woman who was always in church praying and asking the priest to bless her, yet she was horrible to people.
I try and explain the difference between people who have "religion" and people who have Jesus, but I find it hard as I am not the sort of person that non-Christians associate with "goodness". I am understanding and a good listener and encourage people, but I am not a very practical person, and never have been.
The "good" people who impress are those women who do lots for others in a practical way and are wonderful at cooking..etc...
I have so many faults, although I confess them.
But I need prayer to show non-believers the love of Jesus, and I am so weak and ineffective.
