The other day my family and I were coming out of the theater with some friends of the family when we all bumped into a couple who said that they are believers (I am not doubting their salvation or anything) and I was introduced as the missionary son, which is cool and everything right. Anyways, the wife said that their daughter went on a missions trip for a week, and I was naturally excited to hear that someone was willing to venture out in the Lord and serve Him, but eight after that she says that she was crying everyday that she was gone and how she wanted her to be back home with her.
It was so sad to hear. What does one do in this sort of situation? Do we rebuke them in love? Try to encourage them to think about what their daughter is doing for the Lord? Do we sit silent while they say these selfish things? Whatever it is that the Lord tells you to do, do it but don't forget to always be praying for the parents and the daughter, that she would seek the Lord.
