...You are, of course, correct. However, I find that aspect heartbreaking and I am so thankful that somehow I was created to recognize the Lord's way...
I wish there were something I could do to awaken those hell-bound...please advise...I have many friends that are...H-B, that is.
I find that prayer and living my faith for them to see is the best way. When it comes to friends especially, because Jesus said "a prophet is not a prophet in his own country"...in reference to fact even Jesus could not do too much in Nazareth, his home town-although born in Bethlehem.
I think with strangers we can speak truth and encourage them, but with people who KNOW US from childhood, through sin years or as regular family members, living it and praying for them does the most.
