DO take it personally!

John 4:42 “They said to the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world."

This is what people of Samaria said to the Woman at the well regarding Jesus.

This is an important truth. Your testimony about what Jesus has done and who He is to you may encourage others to put their faith in Him, but it is not enough.

“for we have heard for ourselves”. That is the key. Each of us must hear God for themselves. His call to a relationship with Him is personal…targeted...specific.

Parents cannot become believers for their children, nor wives for their husbands. It is personal responsibility, accountability and repentance in faith one on one with Jesus.

Have loved ones apart from God? Pray God will speak to their hearts and they will respond to His call for a relationship.
