Bible Note: Greetings Mommapbs! I apologize that it has taken me so long to respond to your note. I would agree that there are those who know about God but don't really know Him as their personal Lord and Savior. The only advice that I can give you from personal experience is that persistence and persistence through prayer pays! I am not saying that we should witness to people every single time that we are with them if they refuse to believe. But we can go on being ourselves, our own light and witness to them, and to continue praying that the Lord will knock down the strongholds that they have built up around themselves to keep them away from believing. Many times, I see that the people that I witness to are watching me, to see if I walk the same thing that I talk to them about. Another thing to consider is that you have planted the seed! And another Christian will perhaps take your work further, hopefully resulting in the salvation of the soul. Blessings to you! Makarios |
