One of the biggest impact on my faith!

The 2 people that has had the biggest impact on my faith is my father-in-law and mother-in-law….They are not perfect but they live out a real relationship with Jesus everyday! I have been in the family for 26 years now and not once have they allowed people, heartaches, or disappointments hinder their faith.They are known by a lot of people and I have never heard anyone say any negative thing about them.

When I first started dating my husband, I saw true love. I wasn’t raised in church and I didn’t know what real love looked like. From the moment they met me, they showed love and treated me with kindness. They are the reason why I wanted a relationship with Jesus. I wanted the joy, love, peace, and hope that they had and still have.

They let me know with love what was and wasn’t allowed in their home. I had no problem respecting them because they never made me feel bad or treated me differently. My husband was raised in church and he went to church if he wasn’t working because that was important in his house. He gave his heart to the lord! Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

As born again believers, the world is supposed to see us act and talk differently if we profess to have a relationship with Jesus. Romans 12:2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. They should want the joy, peace, love, and hope that we have. We aren’t perfect but we are supposed to be like Jesus! 1 John 2:6 Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

I have a lot of respect for my in-laws and I am thankful the Lord put them in my life. We have had disagreements but they have always showed the love of Jesus. I truly believe God put me in this family because he knew I would not only hear the gospel but see it lived out! That’s my prayer is to live out the gospel so someone will come to know Jesus!
