...”eyes and ears being opened to respond”....

Well I do think that having a mom who took me to church and sunday school prepared me to hear and want to know God in my later years....I learned at a tender age that the man Jesus loved me even if I really didn’t understand who he was or about him.

There seems to be a work God does when we are exposed to him even when we don’t have the understanding. I say this because I certainly didn’t oppose these teachings as a child.

So in my mind I believe the call to our hearts and minds begins long before our awareness of Jesus....and that call goes out to all...responding is where it becomes a choice on our part.

Was this the work of your mother, of you or of God?

Joh 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

So in my mind I believe the call to our hearts and minds begins long before our awareness of Jesus....and that call goes out to all

Then it was you that made the decision. Is that correct?
