You never know what your witness to the Gospel might be accomplishing. I shared the Gospel with a man over a 5 year period getting to the point of “popping the question” several times. Each time I offered “You can accept Christ right now!” He hesitated “No I’m just not ready.” I felt like I was getting nowhere. However one day we got to that place and he did accept Christ. As we discussed the 5 year process, he said there were many layers, walls, like an onion skin between his heart and the Lord. Each time I loved him. Each time I listened. Each time I answered his objections. We were one layer closer. We’ll never know if there 10 walls left or if there is just one. More often we are not at the final stage. Let us grow weary of sharing the God news.
