Dear Brother / Sister in Christ,
I happen to see your prayer request page right at the moment I needed it the most. My name is Ruth and I am 34 years old, married for 3 year and recently blessed with my baby boy who turn 7 months 3 days ago.
I am a professinal working as a Branch Manager in an USA based company in Malaysia. God has been so kind to me and have blessed me in so many way that I praise him every moment of my life.
I am a devoted Protestent Christian, and my parents accepted Jesus as their saviour when I was only 4 years old. I was very determine to marry a man who is a strong beliver like me too and for that reason I rejected so many proposal that came my way just because they were not Christians. Finally I fell in love with a well known Pastors son and was in relationship with him about 2 years and got to know he is such a conman who lied to me so many things. He was even married with a kid which he lied to me. I broke up with him and that experience left me with so much of pain and scars.
This is the time when I met my husband, he was very understanding,caring and made me feel how important I am in his life, frankly I fell in love with me when I knew he too loves me. Sadly he was an Hindu and he knew how strongly I believe in Christ. We had a long talk and I made my stand very clear I will never leave my faith for any reason, so I asked him to convert. My husband did agree but with a request that he is the only son for his parents so not wanting to hurt them he requested to be married in Indian traditional Custom Wedding and have a Christian Dinner Reception. He also said he will start coming to Church and be babtised after wedding. I trusted all his word and we got married as per discussed. It was a wonderful wedding with blessings with our both family.
Soon after wedding all my dreams scatterd when my husband denied coming to church and to convert. His reason was he loves me so much that he dont want to lose me so he had no choice than to lie to me that he will convert. Nevertheless he let me to be a Christian but he wants to remain as a Hindu partly because of his mom constantly remainding him of not leaving his religon for any reason, as she is so scared that he will become a Christian.
We constantly will have argument due to religon issue as I feel really cheated but other than that he is a wonderful husband. I didnt concive in the first 2 years of marriage and that makes my husband again to accuse me of being the reason. I silently prayed and God answered the prayer with a beautiful son. This became much beautiful and my husband changed so much to be more loving and caring but little did I realised more problems are awaiting for me.
I wanted to bring my son to Church and my husband stopped me and said I can only bring him once he is 1 year old. When I argue about it he said he is too young to be taken to Church and he also told me I can only bring him to Church every Sunday and he will bring my son to Hindu Temple every Friday. My heart was broken into pieces the moment I heard that word. I just can't imagine my son worshipping idols and I can't do anything about it.
My husband is a wonderful man, he takes care of me and my son welfare and provide all our needs and care for us but he is too stubborn when comes to religon. I just had a big argument with him and have been crying the whole night. I love my son so much and want him to grow in Christ, I know no matter which temple my husband takes him but God will help me to bring my son up only in his way however as just a normal human being I feel so bitter and sadden with whatever happening. I regret sometimes why I believed whatever my husnbad said instead I should have asked him to accept Christ and to convert first than marry him but it's too late now. I cannot change the past but I still hope and pray I will be able to change the future. I want God to touch my husband that he will accept Jesus as his personal savior but I just can't seems to wait as the pain is really to much for me to bear.
I was so down that I wanted to tell someone how I feel and writting to you I thought would be the best as I know you will pray for me, my husband Rajan and my little son Reshwin. I really hoping for a miracle to happen in my life, and all I ask for is only Jesus to be filled in my home, family and relationship.
Thank you and with much hope,
Ruth
