It is a sad thing to see someone you love ❤, people you love heading towards a path of destruction and there is nothing you can do. Imagine having a child, a brother, cousin who is a drug addict heading towards sure ruin and there is nothing you can do 😢, heartbreaking 💔
Such is the power of sin. Sin deceives the sinner into thinking he/she is getting a high when in reality with each act of sin the sinner is losing his ability to understand Divine truth and his heart is becoming more resistant to the appeals of God.
Nothing a sinner bent on self destruction love more than to separate himself/herself from those who will show them their ways are evil. Nothing a sinner love more than to hide herself from the Word of God. Nothing a sinner hates more than to hear reproof, rebuke and calls to repentance. A sinner loves the sin which is destroying him and then blame God for the results.
So what must you do if you see a loved one heading in the path of self destruction 😔? You must ask God to first cleanse you of all sin. Only God can save from sin and God cannot save through you if you yourself are living in sin. You must ask God to save you at all costs. You can't save a drowning person if you yourself are drowning in sin.
As you cling to God, as God is purifying you of your own sins, your own uncleaness, as God is removing you from sinful situation then ask the Lord to send you to that person, to help you be a witness to them in the way you live, speak etc.. you must be the light of God in the life of those around you.
As you cling to Jesus, then keep praying for that person, ask the Lord to save you at all cost and save them at all cost. All we can do is to allow God to use us to be a witness to others, we cannot save them, but our lives can show them the power of God to save.
Remember friends you cannot be a witness to someone if you yourself are doing the same thing but allowing Jesus to transform your life then God can use you to reveal His glory. All you can is allow God to use you at all cost. Lord cleans me of sin and send me to others is my prayer 🙏🏾
