Hi Garnet,
I too, (I see we're not alone in this either!) have been in the same situation, - being in love with a non-chrisitan, feeling so torn, not knowing what to do, if I could do anything at all... however my story has a happy ending; my (now) fiance became a chrisitian a year after we began seeing each other! Let me just tell you what a TRUE MIRACLE this is. Despite being the most christian-behaving person I'd ever met, and believing that Jesus Christ existed, there was just no way, he said, he'd ever believe in God. In fact, he even declared to me once that 'there was no way I could change him'. And how right he was! But it was not me, of course, it was the Lord who turned his heart and eyes to him, and I am forever in awe of that, and how it changed our lives and relationship. We are so blessed, because we came through it together - we have seen and lived the 'before' together and therefore live doubly blessed today to know what we share in the Lord now. OUr relationship is infinetly better than ever before.
The change came through prayer, through waiting on the Lord, through believing that no project was too tough for him.
I am definetly not saying this is what you should do, as if I had had your strenght I probably would have done things differently. (it was not easy and at times I definetly compromised my relationship with God because of it, it was sin) however I do believe, as humbly though I say it, that the Lord did use that, - he turned what the devil had intended for evil, and used it for His good. Hope is not lost, and you are not wrong in still caring for your ex-boyfriend. Either way, God will reveal to you the right path - in His time, according to His will. Trust Him.
Father in heaven I lay Garnet at your feet and submit to you all the anxiety and hope and love that she feels. I praise you for her GREAT faith father, and I pray that her testimony will be used in the life of her ex-boyfriend. We want him to know you Lord, to know of your unfathomable riches and love for him. I reaffirm all these wonderful words of wisdom from others Lord, and pray your special blessing on all their lives; thank you for working the way you do; your blessings stretch far.
Thank you Lord, In JESUS name,
AMEN
