A son stops trying to fix his alcoholic mother and instead shares Jesus with her each time she seeks forgiveness. After years of this cycle, she accepts Christ and finds genuine transformation.
When I surrendered that to the Lord and I was like, God, you have to do it, like, I cannot be her savior. I can't do this. I can't even save myself, let alone her. And I began to allow God to step into that place. She ended up— every time she would drink and act out of character, and then she'd eventually come and knock on my door full of shame and ask for forgiveness. It was just this beautiful moment of redemption where I would forgive her and mean it and mean it. She was like, why do you forgive me? I don't deserve this. And it was like every week I was presenting the gospel to my mom because every week she was going through this cycle to this point where eventually she ended up giving her life to Jesus, like the real Jesus, not this lightning bolt God from heaven that wants to judge you and hates you, but the real Jesus who invites you to sit at his table and, and will do the changing. Who loves you, right? So it was just— it was beautiful what came out of a place that was so broken.
