Anyway, when God changes the heart of an elect, it is not necessarily an instant happening. Often, it is a gradual process. So, for His elect, I would say that God does whatever level of convincing that is required, according to God's design of the person. I, for example, am a "sledgehammer" guy (referring to what is needed). So, that's what God used after I rejected the initial "tugs". It wasn't that God "kept on trying", it was His entire plan all along that it would take exactly as long as it took. And of course I learned throughout the whole process, to my benefit from then on. :)
Truly, God is our Father who art in heaven. Perfect Father that He is - and Spiritual toddlers that we are - if we are so pigheaded that we must touch a stove to know it is hot, He lets us. LOLOL! To God be the glory!
