You can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved.— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) May 28, 2016
One thing that irks me is people who try hard to save those who don't want to be saved. I'm thinking to myself, why are you putting yourself through any unnecessary pain by continuing to rescue someone who doesn't want rescuing? This applies to those in abusive relationships, and those who are going down a dangerous road. The only person who can save someone is Jesus, and even Jesus gives us enough opportunities to turn to him before we reach the point of no return. I get that everyone is under the assumption that everyone wants saving, but there are people who enjoy being in bondage. I know that's crazy, but it's true. Project Pat (former 3-6 Mafia/Hypnotize Minds rapper) came out with a song in '99 called "Don't Save Her". Pat's song concept was talking about how dudes try to reform women who enjoy being whores. He thinks that if he treats her right, she'll become loyal to him. Eventually, the person (or people) will resist your superhero efforts so much that you'll come to think that maybe they didn't want saving after all. People must want help, you can't force it on them. Whether it's saving inner-city kids from inevitable death that comes from being involved in the gangster lifestyle, to someone in an abusive relationship. The choice to accept rescue must be on them.
