grandchilds father is Mormon

[MamaBarb]

I am writing this for prayer support and any wisdom you may be able to
offer. Let me start with a short scenario of my daughter. Brought up
in an Evangelical church, is now attending a local Christian
University. She reads her Bible daily, has fellowship with good
Christian friends, goes to a strong Bible teaching church. But, she
began "hanging" out with a young man whom she worked with. She did
not like to talk about him around us at all, so we knew there had to
be some "issue" with him. Well, she never discussed him again, so we
thought it was over; she had since quit working with him. Then she
came home one day to announce she was pregnant. Imagine our shock
since she was not dating anyone. When we asked about the father, she
told us it was this man. She then informed us she would not be able
to marry him because he was Mormon. Double whammy. That would all be
OK, but he wants to be involved in the child's life, and as his
father, it is his responsibility. But, through all this, she has
kindled a relationship with him, that really wasn't there before. She
constantly tells us there is nothing between them, yet every moment he
is in town, they are together. Today, we are going to sit her down
and again have the "unevenly yoked" talk. So, as I stated earlier,
please pray for us. Pray for this young man's salvation. (The church
could ex-communicate him, which could open the door for us). And,
secondly, how do we walk in this situation? He should be involved in
his child's life. He knows this child will be raised a Christian, he
knows our stance on all of this. How do we love him, without our
daughter falling in love with him?

A great big warm hug to you!
You definitely have our prayers. Here at Truth in Love Ministry,
we have a prayer ministry that involves people spread out over the
world. Please know that you, your daughter, your grandbaby, and this
young man are being lifted up in prayer. It is our privilege and
honor.
My heart goes out to you with the situation that you find
yourself in with your daughter - not exactly what you probably had in
mind in how to become a grandmother for this grandbaby. But I know
that God is forming this baby in your daughter's womb and He has a
plan and a purpose for this child. I also know that the sins of a
repentent heart are forgiven long before any of us was ever born. You
sound like a great mom and your daughter like a special lady. God
loves you both and will not let you down. As far as the father is
concerned, continue praying for him - and continue praying for
whatever relationship exists now and will exist between him and your
daughter. Thank goodness, God is in control and we can trust in Him!
Pray that the Holyl Spirit will continue to lead and guide your
daughter - she belongs to Him. Who knows, God may use this situation
to bring this young man to faith in Him - to live in heaven forever
with Jesus. We cannot force opportunities to witness, but we can be
sensitive to the opportunities when they come up. Our biggest witness
sometimes is just our life - letting Jesus show through our lives. I
can see the love of Jesus shine through your words. I pray that God
will use this situation draw all of you closer to Him. Please know
that the road out of Mormonism is usually a process and takes a while
- you and your daughter must persevere, but also realize that it is
not up to you but to God and His Holy Spirit working within him.

You are in my prayers.
Warm hugs,
Lori
