Acts 16:13-14 NLT On the Sabbath we went a little way outside the city to a riverbank, where we thought people would be meeting for prayer, and we sat down to speak with some women who had gathered there. One of them was Lydia from Thyatira, a merchant of expensive purple cloth, who worshiped God. As she listened to us, the Lord opened her heart, and she accepted what Paul was saying.

Believers are instructed to preach the gospel to everyone (Mark 16:15). After preaching the gospel, we may feel like it’s our responsibility to get them saved. We may feel defeated if a person leaves us without accepting Jesus Christ as Lord. As we can see in Acts, the Lord opens a person’s heart to receive. Our responsibility is to preach the gospel, but God opens the heart.

Don’t get discouraged if someone rejects the gospel or leaves the same. First of all, that’s their choice and we can’t go against another person’s will. Secondly, the gospel we preached could just be a seed. They may recall what we said and the prayer we prayed and accept Jesus 10 years later.

So, preach in the stores, at your job, in the streets, and at the mall. Don’t burden yourself with their salvation. Just preach and allow God to open their hearts.
