When I read this verse, I think about all the souls who have never heard the gospel, or all those who have heard bits and pieces, but don’t understand or believe it.
How reassuring to know that He does not want anyone to perish, but He will allow them to come to repentance. In His time.
In the meantime, I am not to despair. Instead, I am to live a life that will make them want to be like me, make them ask about the light of Jesus that they see in my life.
I need to be prepared to answer any questions they may have about salvation and repentance and simple love them as Jesus does.
Thank you, Father, for all you are doing to prepare others to seek you. Thank you for softening their hearts and making them ready to receive your saving grace, in Your time.
