Dear Bro in Christ,
I read your letter and my heart seemed to break because I personally know what you and your family are going through. Thoughts & prayers go out to you and your family, but I have some good news and I hope encouraging words for you.  The Bible tells us to bring up a child in the way it should go and when they are older they may go astray but they will return. My son was brought up in the ways of the Lord but one day out of the blue he moved in with another man and left our home.  Our whole family were all devistated, for a while we had no correspondance with him.  I as his Mother turned totally to the Lord for answers, I prayed & prayed, no answer came except-- ( Love him, accept him . I am  the Lord and I Love him!  Let him know you do not approve--- but treat him as your son and  let him know that no matter what --you will always love him, I WILL DO THE REST.) This was not ! easy but  with Gods help I did it.   I never visited his home but he was always welcome in mine, I treated him the same as always and if possible it seemed I loved him even more as time passed.   Three years passed and then things began to change, I stood by quietly and watched and prayed.  The relationship ended, He turned back to the Lord,  Praise God forever more!!!!! a year later he met the woman God had planned for him, she was a  dedicated christian girl and he was so in Love with her, but was afraid to tell her of his past but I told him if she is the one and she loves you it will not matter to her and it did ,nt.  They were married two years later, now have two beautiful children 14 and 12 all serving the Lord with gladness.  So no matter what  or how bad the situation looks God is always in control and willl answer our prayers, when I felt I could not go another da! y, I claimed His Word  that I had brought him up in the admo nition of the Lord,   satan fought me in my mind and believe me it was a battle--- BUT he LOST!!!   I thank my heavenly Father every day and I know that if He will do it for me ,  HE WILL DO IT FOR YOU!!!!!
