Attcked.... How to Deal!

So I was having a conversation with a really close friend and it included an invite to church. My friend then responded "why?? I mean whats the point. Miki there is no God there is no Heaven. Its all just a waste of time. We live life then its over, we are six feet under."

In my Head I am like running through every emotion but just cry out to God in my head. I then say I am very sorry thats the way you feel, and well since thats not what I beleive it makes me very sad, but that is your choice. Then I turn to watch tv, acting all normal, not upset, mad or hurt, even though I was feeling all of it. A couple minutes go by and my friend says... "I mean its not that I dont beleive but its just all so much, I just dont understand how one person could make all this, it doesnt seem possible and if so, How was God made?"

I then respond... I know, I know exactly how you feel, its seems impossible, I dont understand it all. I dont have all the answers. I just beleive, I just choose to have faith. My friend then says, I mean it could be true, and I am not saying I dont beleive it's just so out there, but how else did we get here...???

I said once again, I understand your questions, you not knowing... I have many questions, I dont understand it all and some stuff seems to be out there but I just choose to beleive its true. I just have faith it is. We went about watching tv and well you know while nothing seemed to be accomplished, I think so much started turning in my friends head, I think my reaction, of kindness, caring, not attacking made the wheels turn more. It's the beginning..... I have faith its the beginning to a life turning to Christ!

Love it! Regardless of the path your friend takes, it was a God-honoring response, and that's always right.
