“For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” – Isaiah 55:10-11 KJV

Just because people reject what you have to say about Jesus that doesn’t make you a failure, nor does it mean you did something wrong in God’s sight. Jesus was the greatest teacher who ever walked this earth; yet He was often despised and rejected by men (Isaiah 53:3). So, don’t feel that you have let God down because you have been rejected or despised by others while trying to reach them for Christ. You can only share what you know in good faith; but you can’t cause those who choose to be blind to see, nor can you help it if your words fall on deaf ears. The thoughts of those who reject your testimony don’t represent God’s thoughts towards you.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” – Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV

Sharing Jesus with others isn’t about formulating the right method; it’s about following the Lamb wherever He leads. While we do have a responsibility to share Jesus with others, we are not responsible for the choices that they make. What they choose to do with what we give them is between them and God. What matters most is that we do our part in carrying out the work that God assigns to us, and that we continue to trust that He knows what’s best for all. Therefore plant seeds of truth; but leave the work of convicting and changing hearts to God. He knows what He’s doing!
