I've found something that has really encouraged me and I hope it does the same for anyone who reads this. Of course a simple solution to being unashamed of the spreading of the Gospel is to have Christ and his truth first in your life but what about those people that are so hard to deal with because of their unbelief? Billy Graham put great emphasis on the soul, and rightfully so, as it is the one thing in us that longs to be with God unlike the flesh. The Word say's that we where created in God's image, well since God is a Spirit and is everlasting, obviously, The Bible is not speaking of our always dying and limited flesh... he's speaking of our souls. Now with that in mind, some of the hardest to witness to are the so-called atheist of sorts. I beleive they have either forced themselves into believeing otherwise or are lying to themsleves at that very moment and will continue to do so until they allow their pride, subconscious or willed, to give way to God's unending mercy and love as the Holy Spirit Calls. The reason I believe this is if the fact's are that everything is created by God with special attention to the soul then our sould show special attention to Him as well. Granted the Holy Spirit flows with the will of God and stirs the spirit of conviction within us our souls are begging us to find it, the part of us that is most like God is ready to return from where it came, the hands of the Creator. Simply put, 'God's fingerprints cover the creation of our souls.' At one point in everyone's life they've though because of the mystery within themselves 'who is it that keeps calling me?' So my encouragement to those of us that are planting the seeds of God's eternal love and grace, keep strong when you come across those that claim there is not one in whom we believe. You can know that through your prayer and witness that the seed you planted while causing confusion and strife in thier flesh, the Spirit is calling to that old farmiliar soul to return to that master from where it originally came and cleanse the new believer's sin in God's everlasting grace and mercy. I love you all.
