Loneliness

Dear Brother Froese,I am writing this in as short a way as possible. I desperately need answers on how I can live as God’s teachings tell me. I believe it is completely wrong to accept their lifestyle, and isn’t it also wrong to associate with them?My son married a strict Mormon woman who believes everything they teach, even though I have openly witnessed regarding the truth to them. I am 81 years old, seriously ill and right now thrown into living very close with them.I love the Lord with all my heart and want to live a righteous lifestyle. They want me to celebrate Christmas with them, have family dinners and do things together, and I do not know what to do; it’s causing me bad stress. Please advise me if I should stay away and move, etc.-A. Bramel, OH


Arno's Answer:


You have reached the age when most people need assistance. If not now, then just a few months or years down the road. That’s normal and there is no way out.

The fact that your daughter-in-law is Mormon should not affect your relationship with them. The Bible admonishes us to live in peace with all people.

Be thankful in all circumstances, and do not allow thoughts to creep into your mind that cause you “bad stress.”

Loneliness, incidentally, is quite normal too. That, however, gives one more time with the Lord in prayer and Bible reading. I have prayed that the Lord will give you the grace to follow Him even closer.
