God's Time

So a friend knocks on her friend's door and hands her a gift. She accepts it and thanks her for being thoughtful. She looks at it, then takes no interest to it and sets it aside in her room. It just sits there collecting dust, neglected.

That is what happened today when my friend was given a gift of salvation. She accepted the gift with a little hesitation and sets it aside a few minutes later. I have to admit she was under the pressure; it seemed like she was being forced to convert. But the way I see it, her heart wasn't willing to accept and it was bad timing. She's young and doesn't understand...yet.

God was telling me that it really wasn't time, but that didn't mean the people trying to witness Jesus to her were wrong trying to lead her to salvation. They were doing what God has commanded in the bible and that is to evangelize. That really didn't mean convert her. It's merely just sharing the gospel. It's about what Jesus has done for our sins. But I felt what my friend was feeling. I felt the pressure. I know they planted a seed in her heart and maybe, just maybe, it could grow in God's time. And maybe there was a reason for this to happen.
