We Believe in God

Everytime I tried to convert my daughter to Christianity she would get defensive and shut me down immediately. So I prayed for God to convert her because I couldn't. Last night at 1: 00 In the morning I heard her singing for the first time to God for all of the things He has done for her! Especially singing that He made a movie about her and that He knows her! I was thrilled I couldn't believe what I was hearing could it really be my 18 year old daughter singing love songs to God for all He has done for her! Thank You Jesus for saving my daughter when I couldn't!
As I read your post here I began to think of my grandma as you said "everytime I tried to convert my daughter"...
My grandma did the very same thing to me, as did my mother too. With all that pressure in my life from both sides as I was growing up, it drove me further away from religion and God.
Growing up in a Christian home, going to a Baptist church and finding the Lord as my Savior at about 8-10 years old. I strayed from the church when I was a teenager.

I came back to the Lord in my later years but I know that God has always had His Hand on me.

The point in my reply is I learned that I cannot force the same belief onto my own children, like my parents did, and my grandparents.

I personally have learned to leave it in the Lord's Hands. God has a purpose and it's not for us to control, nor let any other man or body of government.

When they come to know God, it will be in His time, not yours or ours. We can only plant the seed and spread His word and pray. As believers that is all we can do and put it into His Hands.

We can be faithful and patient and through Him we have hope and faith. As long as we trust in Him.

Your so very correct, It has taken me a while to realize that I am not God. All we can do is be examples as best we can to our families and to our neighbors . God will take care of the rest.@MamaButterfly

Prayers always answered, God's time not ours.
We cannot convert anyone, However God will in his time.
Wonderful post, now is a good time to sit and chat with her about continuing her journey in the faith, prayer, reading the bible daily, church. All great beginnings.
Blessings,
Mike

@TheWildEcho I'm just treating your beliefs the same way you treat others' because I presumed you followed the doctrine of "Do unto others...". Isn't that what you want me a to do? You gave your reason why you wouldn't want anyone to become a Satanist. I gave my reason why I wouldn't want anyone to become a christian. If I were denigrating christianity, you were denigrating Satanism.

How about you answering my question, then I'll answer yours. Here it is again -
How about an Atheist parent attempted to convert her christian daughter to Atheism? Would you be happy at the parent's rejoicing that, at last, her daughter had come to her senses and accepted reality?

@Sharon I've already answered you, check my previous replies

And ok you don't want to answer my question so that's ok, I don't want a long slanging match!! Have a nice evening!

@TheWildEcho You answered in respect of Satanists, not Atheists. Maybe you think they're the same, a lot of christains claim that anyong who doesn't worhip their god is in league with Satan.

I'm an Atheist with an interest in various forms Paganism. I see the Pagan deities as personifications of the forces of nature.

That must have been a nice feeling for you! Good for your daughter!

So is Marduk, Baal or Odin now in possession of her soul?
No one can ever convert any one. It just comes on you. If it is to happen, it will just come naturally
I am so happy for you both ❤️
