“Return Policy”

Wednesday, November 16, 2016

My question is: my son left the church because some christians hurt him; now he says he won’t have anything to do with christians, but I’ve been praying for two years.  He still doesn’t let go of the hurt.  I'm standing on God’s promises that He will save all my family; do you think my son will come to God?

Sincerely,
A Mother’s Worry

Dear A Mother’s Worry,

You can influence your son’s life, but he has the freedom to choose or refuse God.  Your example will have an effect on your son (Pr 22:6), and you should continue to pray (Pr 15:29) and be a preserving salt in his life (Matt 5:13).  We are so sorry for the heartache you are going through because of your son’s choices (Pr 10:1).  Hopefully, he will repent some day and return to the Lord, but ultimately, that choice will be up to him.
