Come to repentance

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (‭2 Peter ‭3‬:‭9‬ KJV). It is not time to quit or to grow stagnant in the Lord. It is never too late in one's life to come to Jesus. As long as one has breath, it is never too late to repent, turn from our wicked ways, and run to the living hope that is found in Jesus Christ. We might've given up on some of our loved ones, who we spent hours with ministering to about Jesus Christ. Many times they do not turn from their wicked ways, but they continue walking under the order of sin. Your labor is not in vain. The hope and faith you have for them in Jesus Christ is not in vain. Continue asking God to set them free and that they would come to a point in their lives where they would surrender to God. It is never too late. Continue asking the Lord to save them from the negativity, addictions, perversion, greed, selfishness, or whatever it maybe. The apostles never quit, but they kept moving forward, proclaiming Jesus Christ to the whole world in their reach. We are called to evangelize and minister to those around us and to let them know that it's never too late to run to Jesus. It can get discouraging and disappointing, but don't allow your heart to cause you to give up. Keep on going forward in the Lord. Many times, actions and integrity speak louder than words . God bless you. Amen
