Josephus hit it on the head...though its a tough one for us often to realize. But maybe this analogy might help:
Imagine that you are a 5 year old child who for your entire life (or the last 2 1/2 years) has played the "Pong" video game. It's all you've ever known, and, due to its repetative and bland nature, and, though you love it, you know something is missing. Then, one day, you get a combination X-box/GameCube/Playstation 2 with a full arrayment of games and a lifetime promise to never run out of options or upgrades. Tell me, how often would you, as this 5 year old, remember "Pong" in a "glad that its gone" sort of way, much less regret not having it around anymore? As a child, full of excitement at the new good things that have come your way, you would not. You'd be too caught up in the new glory.
Now...of course this is merely an analogy. On earth, this child would eventually grow up and get bored...but God is the King of Heaven and He is infinitely unboring! Hard as it may be for us now to understand, that's the way it will be.
Meanwhile...if you have family that is in that situation... PRAY for the them! and witness to them. That is our calling as children of God. Let your cup overflow, no matter what the personal trial or persicution you may incur will be. If you love them, then reach out to them in that love and let God win their soul for Himself through you!
Peace to all who seek it,
