We sat around the table of our long-time friend drinking "chai," nibbling on snacks and talking about Jesus. Pictures of the spiritual leader in her community are prominent in every room."Jesus never sinned? I didn't know that!" declares my long time friend.

After hearing once again about Jesus' sacrifice for all of us she sits quietly for a few moments staring into space oblivious to what we continue to say. Focusing on us once again she says, "You know what I'm thinking?" We shake our heads, "All I can think about is that—no God loved me like this!" Yet she cannot bring herself to trust Him as Lord and Savior. She wrestles with thoughts of what it might mean for her to be rejected by her community.

The question finally surfaces, "Will you take care of me if I convert?" Everything within me wants to say, "Yes, of course." But the reality is that God is the object of our faith; her confidence has to be in Him. We lovingly explain once again that we invite her to follow Jesus (who is Himself God) and that God is able to take care of her in all situations. We continue to pray for her.
