Hello I am 15 and my sister is gay my Church and my family have prayed for her but she does not see God and how much He loves her. For a few month see really started to see him but there is a highly negative person in our lives that is pulling her back in to the darkness. She gets mad at me every time I say that things are "bad" or "inappropriate" for her or anyone for that matter. She shoots me aweful looks when I talk about God. What can I do?

Only God can save, and the Holy Spirit convict. But you can pray, show her love and patience.

The Bible says that it is the love and goodness of God that draws men to repentance.

It was His love manifested thru many different Christians that drew me to Jesus.

Pray and keeping serving the Lord in obedience and love.

Also realize that no one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws them (John 6:44). So only God can save her. Pray if it be the Lord's will for her to believe and be saved, and continue to serve the Lord. :)

Prayer works...forcing her is just going to just make her more rebellious. Pray...pray...pray. Your sister is her own person, and the best thing to do is to pray hard.

Do not tell her how bad it is, or all of the horrible things that will happen because of it. Many people nowadays aren't actually as they say they are and are just as confused themselves. Prayer is an effective means of help, I hope that ya'll keep doing it.

Many people miss, however, that change can only genuinely happen from within. The reason I say not to try and guilt her into changing is because I assure you that she already knows that it's wrong. All you can do in the meantime is accept the sinner and not the sin.

It appears to me that she has a misconstrued perception of God as a judge, which he is, but is missing the loving Father half of it. See if you can change that. When you do speak of God in front of her, do it non-threateningly at dinner or someplace comfortable. Talk about his unending forgiveness and how he's helped you in your daily life and struggles.

Only time and patience will help. Stay strong, and God bless!

The Bible says that we are to approach errant people in love and offer correction. But if they refuse it we are to then let them go their own way. Being pushy only pushes them away. I agree with the above posters - pray for her, and show her God's unconditional love. That's how she will be drawn to the Spirit of truth. And be patient. These things seem to always take too much time in our eyes, but in the eyes of God that time is but a twinkling.

The only thing that you can do is to pray for her as often as you can. God can fix anything, just remember that. Also remember that even when she is mean or rude to you, you have to love her and be kind to her and patient with her. Love the sinner but hate the sin.
