How are you feeling at this point? Encouraged? Can I remind you of something? You will never convert a single person in your whole life! That's not your job -  it's God's. Our job is to simply scatter seeds. Scatter a few seeds, pray, and let God do the work. I believe with all my heart that if we sow seed, we will see results - either in this life or the life to come.  Why? because God's word is tremendously powerful. Even small amounts of God's word can work miracles. Do you know your Bible? Do you really believe what it says? If we don't really believe that Jesus is unique, we will never cross the pain line of telling our friends. Strangely it's a good thing that many people know little of the Bible because it presents us with a huge opportunity. There is supernatural power in God's word.  We must realise, friends, that  we are in a spiritual battle. Nobody can move someone else one inch nearer to Christ by their own efforts, but God can! So let's get on with it shall we!  God has made each of us different, we all have a different story and different friends and family. What works for me might not work for you. The important thing to remember is that it's the Lord who shines his light and draws people to himself, he's the one who performed the miracles of new birth not us.  Ask for wisdom and the Holy Spirit will guide you. Friends God is at work! May God help you and bless you as you take the first step. May he encourage you as you aim to scatter tiny little seeds of hope in your conversations with friends and loved ones in the knowledge the power lies with him, our sovereign Lord, and in his word. Thankyou @rebeccadavidsonsteel for your summary of chapters 8&9.
