There’s a truism I come up with a while ago: Some things just take too long to say unless you’re preaching to the choir.
So I hear you, preacher. But to those who cannot no amount of words will convince them to hear ... getting camels through the eyes of needles ... that’s the Holy Spirit’s job anyway..
People always have choices.
One can always pray to the Holy Spirit for guidance, wisdom, strength, peace, hope and a better understanding of what our Lord wants from us.
However, if one wasn't brought up to know the Holy Spirit or Jesus or our Father in heaven, then one seems to have to rely on him/herself. And that's a no-win.
We ARE also allowed to ASK our Lord for His sustaining grace.
Our Lord listens to us, always.
