My friend and I had been conversing for well over an hour, each delicately speaking from our knowledge of the books we hold most dear. He had just completed the month long fast.

“It is important for a man to do good to outweigh the sins we commit,” he said, “God holds the scales to examine us.” We spoke of the absolute righteousness of God and the sin of man. He spoke of gaining paradise through following the commands of Allah. I spoke of the perfect sacrifice in Christ. He spoke of Jesus the “prophet.” I spoke of Christ, the Son of God. We each longed to share the most basic truths of our beliefs.

We are friends. We are both seeking God. He understands and shares my longing to know God. I pray he may understand God’s love. Please pray with us that God would continue to open hearts to seek Himself and open eyes to see the way.
