we do our part and God does the rest

Sometimes it is hard to go through life and witness to those around you and you feel like you're getting nowhere.  But, God can use something as small as a speck of sand to change someone's life.  That's why He says if we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can move mountains.  It can be frustrating when those around us do not get what we are "teaching" or "sharing" with them.  I have been known to raise my voice in the past out of frustration because no one understood what I was trying to get across to them.  In this act, we tend to also judge those around us.  Now, remember that God is not a logical God, God is faith.  Something may not make sense to us or others around us but when we do what He calls us to, then it doesn't matter what those say around us.  "If you are here to judge, then you're not doig what God wants for you."  Some Christians tend to forget that God is the one that judges those in the end.  We just have to do the job of sharing the Gospel in prayers and hope that those get saved that we have talked to and have a personal relationship with God.  However, I cannot SAVE someone.  That is NOT my job.  My job is to love people where they are at.  My job is to be there for those that need me in His name.  My job is to do what God has called me to do.  My job is not to save.  I CANNOT DO THAT!! God can!  I just lead those people in the direction that God wants them to start heading and if they choose to then they choose to.  If not, I keep praying that someone else can plant a seed as well.  I just watched this movie Lord Save Us and the pastor said, "When we love those which is what we're supposed to do, God shows up." I totally agree with this.  We alone cannot save people, but with the help of God we can lead them in the right direction so He can save them.  So do your part, as in, do what God has called you to do and love those around you (even if it hurts) and let God do the rest!
