All through Scripture we read of God's intention to save everyone in the world. Some days, after trying my best to draw a person towards salvation, I conclude, "Why Lord, didn't you just take us all for your own?" It's a naive question in that it ignores the demonstration of the love of God for us all. His plan for us leaves the relationship to be our choice. He has already, through Christ revealed His love for all. The rest is based upon our conscious decision to love Him.
So while I despair at those who reject His love, I do so knowing their ability to do so comes by the grace of God. The grace of God is always present. Please, Lord, make us even better at shining and sharing so more will see the light and know that you love them. Hallelujah!
2 John 1:3 (NIV)
3 Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, will be with us in truth and love.

i reckon that Life would be too easy as Christians if everyone was already saved, i personally love a challange. I do find it sad to think that many of my non-christian friends wont be ending up in the same place as us, but again that gives me the motivation/challange to talk about Gods love for us. I just got to keep praying that one day they'll listen and also that i stay strong not to give up on them!!
Thanks Commissioner for reminding us of the importance of spreading gods word!!
GodBless you!
