How to Help Our Unbelieving Relatives - SHOW THEM THAT YOU LOVE THEM - Continue

 Read Romans 12:15. If we show interest in our loved ones when they need it most-both in good times and in bad times-we may help them to change their attitude toward us. For example, we could congratulate the on the birth of a child on the birth of a child and give them a gift to show that we share in their happiness. When family members lose a loved one in death, we should speak consolingly to them, offer some practical help, or send them a comforting card. And of course, we could check on them regularly, especially when they are facing hard times. 

Introduce them to fellow believers. When the disciple Andrew identified Jesus as the Messiah, Andrew eagerly introduced his brother Peter to Jesus. (John 1:40-42) Can we do something similar? For example, could we occasionally invite a relative to a meeting or to a meal with our friends? As we introduce him to fellow believers, he will see that Witnesses are normal, decent people.
