Isn't in interesting how being given a tiny nuget of information can help you see many things in a different way.
Last weekend I went on the Christian Union weekend and the speaker was talking about how our non-Christian friends hearts are often hardened to the truth, and that no matter how much we argue with them about God, they won't see His love because the devil has shut them off from it. It's only when we pray for the Holy Spirit to come in and minister to them, that their hearts can be opened.
He compared it to an egg inside a mother. No matter how much we talk to that egg and try and pursuade it to come alive, it won't. It takes the seed from the father to come in, to bring it life.
So our friends our spiritually dead. We need to ask the Holy Spirit to come in and make them alive.
So yeah, I've just listened to Tim Hughes' 'You' and bits of it stood out to me that relate to this that I hadn't heard in that way before:
"Love can melt the hardest heart
Your words can bring the dead to life
Nothing is impossible for You"
So I'd better get praying!
