I answered the door to find my friend Analuz crying. Her mother-in-law Theodora was very sick in the hospital and would need surgery. And even though her mother-in-law had mistreated her throughout her entire marriage Analuz was still concerned about her. And she was especially concerned about her soul. She asked me how she could help Theodora prepare for heaven. I offered to go with her to the hospital or send a pastor, but she thought her mother-in-law wouldn't listen to a stranger. So I coached her through how to share the gospel with Theodora and lead her in a prayer to accept Jesus Christ as her savior.
Yesterday I saw Analuz again and asked her how things went with her mother-in-law. She said she had shared what I had told her, and that Theodora had accepted Jesus as her savior. Even though Theodora remains in serious condition physically, we rejoice in knowing that her soul is at peace, thanks to a daughter-in-law who did not repay evil for evil, but sought the ultimate good for her mother-in-law.
