“I have a friend who often leads people to Jesus. I asked him once how he knew they were ready to receive the gospel. ‘It’s easy,’ he replied. ‘I ask them.’ So I must stop worrying about the wind and the clouds and get on with it—scattering the seed wherever I go, regardless of the weather. You just never know.”

It was interesting to read Our Daily Bread this morning, for I kept coming back to the above sentences. Ask them? Me? Interesting how that relates to the scripture I keep reviewing in my mind this week, Mark 12:30 – “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'”
