Jesus Will Do The Rest
The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. --- 1 Corinthians 2:14
 
As gratifying as it is to help people who are appreciative and who desire to have a relationship with Jesus, Christian servants also encounter opposition, criticism, and even hatred from some of the people we seek to serve. But we realize we are serving a humanity filled with people from all different walks of life. Some may have never heard or are misinformed about the Word of God. Others may be in a struggle about God or with God, or some may have turned away from God altogether. Whatever the case, we know that Jesus is our way to bringing about a newfound love relationship between hurting souls and our Savior. When we demonstrate to others the gentleness and kindness that we came to know through Jesus, we help to prepare souls to receive Him when He gets ready to make Himself known to them. This is an encouraging aspect of the less than desired experiences of Christian servitude. While we may not receive the response we desire as a result of our service to God and His people, we know that whatever we begin, Jesus will do the rest in His time and in His way to make the outcome of our service complete and to His Glory.
