--GOD IS ALWAYS WORKING IN HEARTS~~

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
---(1 Corinthians 1:18)--

--Years ago, my father lost a battle against cancer. This highly intelligent man bore a stubborn streak deeper than anyone I've ever met. Cynical retorts blocked any path I'd lay toward our Savior.

As dad lay on his deathbed, I'd all but abandoned hope, considering his salvation an impossibility. It was time to let Jesus take over. Jesus stretched His hand to touch my father's heart. At last, Dad accepted Him and was saved. Jesus's timing was perfect, as always.

No one is beyond his reach. Right now I'm interceding for a specific person's salvation. When we're together, I pull the Lord's Name, Yahweh, YHWH, (our covenant-keeping Creator), into our conversations. I hope to draw my loved one's interest. Will the Lord grant this friend eternal life? There's no way to know. Jesus alone decides who, what, why, and when of each soul's destiny.

As for me, I'm willing to step aside as He leads --to wait, watch, and hope in faith. ~~

"Lord Jesus, thank You for sending the right person in the path of our lost loved ones, to lead them to faith in You. All glory goes to You, our Lord and Redeemer."
