Luke 15:17
But when he came to his senses (NET)
It's difficult to see a loved one in a destructive behavior. And although we try and try to help them, they don't change. God is the only One who can change them. Notice it says when he came to his senses. He had a rock bottom experience that brought him to where he needed to be, the place where the only choice was God. If we keep rescuing our loved one thinking they will change but they continue in their behavior, we pro-long the rock bottom experience that God needs them to get to. In essence we are enabling them to continue in that behavior. As hard as it is to let go, we must so that God can bring the LASTING change.
