The draw from God to move past the world...the over arching message to surrender your worldly cares and allow God to move freely in your life...there is a good chance that no matter how much you respect her or her beliefs that the end result will be a departure.
I was the departer from my friends and girlfriend...and it's not because I don't love them...it's that when I invited them to leave with me, so-to-speak, my invitation was rejected. So it's not that I didn't want them...it's that the direction I was heading was somewhere they didn't want to go.
She can love you to the moon and back, but one day she may get drawn to a place you cannot go....just know no matter how it looks, it's not a flippant decision. But the King of the universe is calling her to see this life like neo sees the matrix. And once you see the tethers that bind and blind people from the truth...you'd be damning the people you love not stay on that path God calls you to.
Now I could have written this to you when you made your post: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskAChristian/comments/1e7lmhu/my_girlfriend_recently_got_into_christianity_what/
But what are we all going to do when someone tells us that we are about to lose something dear to us? We fight. And as her big brother in Christ, how can I write you something that will allow you to put in place obstacles for which this person you love already has many...most of them self inflicted.
But when I read this, my immediate response was, how can I bring peace to this person's heart...and the truth is I cannot...but HE can.
