I lost my mother years ago and went through the same guilt. There was one thing that did come out of that time that still comforts me, the Bible tells us that His word will not return to Him void. Isaiah 55:10-11 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

My mother is not saved and she is getting more older and feeble by the year. She belongs to a certain denomination and believes that will get her into heaven. Your post encourages me to keep on sharing with her. God Bless, Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
