John 12:39-40 “But the people couldn’t believe, for as Isaiah also said, ‘The Lord has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts – so that their eyes cannot see, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and have me heal them.’”
And so it is and will be. There are those who have known me and chosen to reject me. There are those who have ignored my attempts to reach them, who have acknowledged that they choose evil over me. There are those whose hearts have become so degenerate and beyond healing that they will never see the light, never understand, never be saved and healed. This seems harsh and ugly and sad to you – and I do not deny that it is. But, do not spend your time and energy on those people. Try to reach them and when they are not willing, shake the dust off your feet and move on to those who are reachable. Time is running out and the harvest is plentiful. Many of the lost can and will be reached. Leave the others to me. (2021)
