Beloved of All
Yes, thank you for replying. It will be very difficult and tough doing this alone, love blinds people and it takes friends who are for us to help us to be the support and eyes when we cannot see clearly.She believes there is a God but isn’t a Christian. I pray that I am the witness God made me to be. I know about being unequally yoked and I struggle with that. I do love her with everything I am and want His light to shine through me and positively influence her life. I really appreciate the prayers for both of us.
If you can hear me out, I say this in urgency because I have seen people who do not take what God says seriously about not being unequally yoked. He is not saying it to be harsh or just so He can punish but he cares and knows that nothing good comes from it. He knows that there are good things prepared in an equally yoked marriage because He can bless that.
I have witnessed firsthand the suffering of being unequally yoked which is why I am saying this, there is pain and suffering, all kinds of misery and torment that affects the believer more than the unbeliever in a relationship that's unequally yoked than one that is. There is already enough to deal with in a relationship that's equally yoked, how much more unequally yoked. I hope you do not proceed without counsel from a healthy church leadership and people who can be your support.
I hope you find a church that suits you and develop a community of support. I believe it is hard doing this alone and you cannot be a support for her alone nor reflect Christ in the best manner to her if you are overcome and with your passions and taking on her problems and being overwhelmed as well.
Do dwell in the word richly and please know that God does mean well for you when he says to not be unequally yoked.
