How on earth do you know how God is going to use you? You are commanded to speak the truth in season and out. It doesn't matter if no one will listen you (believe, I know). Cast your bread upon the water and it will not come back empty. That is a promise of God.

I have to admit that you're right on this point. I don't know how God is going to use me, but at the same time I also don't know if there's any point in trying to point out the Truth if the person I'm talking too isn't ready to hear it yet. I'll have to think and pray on this one, but you bring up a very good point and I haven't been even considering it.

You may not (and in most cases won’t) influence the person you are talking to directly. But God will bless you just the same for being faithful to His word.

Well, then we'd never share the truth with them at all, since there is no way we can tell if the person is ready to receive it. Our only responsibility is to share and leave the rest to God and trust that His timing is in the situation.
