Convincing truth

March 7, 2026

If someone is truly seeking the truth, we don’t need to fret over convincing them of the truth ourselves.

Yahweh will lead the seeking heart to truth in His time, not ours.

This is the beauty of a heart open to the truth and a faith in Yahweh that isn’t focused on seeing “results” all the time.

Of course we share with others, but we don’t need to be concerned with convincing. We do our part by presenting the truth to them, then letting Yahweh work in their heart.

Sometimes Yahweh lets us see the results of our obedience, sometimes He doesn’t. Either way, it’s really Him working through us anyway.
