My mom doesn't believe, so she isn't saved. I am kind of sinful and selfish, so I don't know if I can bring her over to God and let God find her. Yet, I would hate for my mom to go to Hell. She really is a good person, in spite of her selfish sons and husband.
If there is anyone that I know well that deserves to go to heaven more than anyone else, it would be her. Of course, we aren't saved by our acts, but by our faith.
One of the things that drives my mom away from Christ is hypocritical Christians. So many people who professed to be believers in Christ have taken advantage of her naivity. So, she has developed this perception of Christians as being mostly hypocritical.
My dad, for instance, professes faith in Jesus, and he does this alot on facebook alot now that his kids and wife have all left him. But, he lies alot and growing up he was pretty addicted to inappropriate content. I don't think that I have a right to judge him, because he is my dad, but I can see why he and other people like him might make my mom dislike Christians.
And, it's not just him, by the way. She's had bad experience with other Christians as well.
However, she is encouraging me to go to church so that I can find some friends. I don't like it when we argue over my faith though. In any case, I would like for my mom to be saved one day.
Now that she's kind of old and she's had heart failure, it might be more imperative now that someone guide her to accepting Christ.
I don't believe that I could be that person. I have problems of my own, and the relationship of being her son and her not wanting to be bossed around by her own son would make it harder for me to guide her to accepting Jesus as her savior.
So, please pray for my mom to accept Christ in some way. She really is a "good" person by conventional standards. A really good mother, and wife even (from my perspective, not sure if my dad would agree).
My mom has done alot for her husband and children. I don't know anyone who's done more even as much for her own family as my mom has. Most women leave men that they don't get along with, and most don't spend their family's money to pay for their husband's spending habits.
My dad has wasted alot of money on things and brought this family through some hard times. I can't say that he was a deadbeat, it would be unfair for me to describe him like he was. BUT, he's bought things like trucks or expensive cable or sattellite, pay-per-view movies, etc. on impulse and through out their marriage my mom's family has had to foot the bill for it.
And, sometimes, he didn't have a job. During those times, my mom not did ALL of the household chores, but she worked while my dad refused to do anything.
I feel bad describing him like this, but he really is an a-hole.
And, my mom is one out of a billion. Most women don't stick around a bad marriage for the sake of her children, even at the expense of the family that she came from. Or, work and do all of the house chores while her husband neither has a job nor do any house chores.
And, in spite of all that my mom has done for my dad, my brothers, and me we don't really show her the respect that she deserves.
And, if she were to go to Hell, it would make things much worse for me as well. I do love my mom, in spite of my being a brat towards her sometimes. I do think that she's an extraordinary woman and mother. I really do hope that she can become saved somehow, so that there would be some reward in her life after all of her hardships.
I know that this is cliche, but my mom is a "saint". She wouldn't likely be sainted by the Roman catholic church or anything like that, but she is genuinely a good person and there are very few people who are like her.
