Artspace: How can I be happy in heaven if my loved ones aren’t there?

Title: How can I be happy in heaven if my loved ones aren’t there?
Artwork by: YMI x @squarepurplefish
Description: When we think about our loved ones who have yet to know Christ, many of us often feel the weight of an impossible burden in drawing them to Christ–we think that we’re solely responsible for leading them to Christ, and place unrealistic expectations on ourselves in our interactions with them, or the way we even love and think about them. 

We start to wonder if our efforts to pray for them have been futile, or feel the pressure to bring Christ into every conversation and interaction. We’re constantly anxious and worried that something might happen to them before they have an opportunity to get to know Christ. 

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “How can I be happy in heaven if my loved ones aren’t there?”, we hope this perspective helps ease some of the burdens you might have.

Project is adapted from original article:

ASK YMI: How Can I Be Happy in Heaven If My Loved Ones Aren’t There? How can we be happy knowing that our loved ones are suffering? We struggle with guilt and ask ourselves: Have I not been earnest enough in sharing the gospel with them? Is it because I haven’t been praying for them consistently? Could I have been a better testimony at home?
