It is difficult. I have reached some people better than others and I hope at least started them down the path of asking questions of themselves and the world.

Be encouraged that you never know how far God is going to take that 1 step out in faith.

This is a true story -

When I started a job there was a guy hired soon after me who was the worst project partner I ever had in college. He not only did no work, he pretended he was going to do work. When it came time to partner review I gave my honest feedback to the professor and him. Don't hear anything from him.

Years later, when he joins the company I tell my boss he is not to be trusted or good. Boss says ok, we will keep an eye on him. I am understandably frustrated having to work with this guy again. But God starts working on my heart. I decide (with Holy Spirit prompting) to actively try to not just treat him professionally, but actively be friendly.

Years pass. He actually is doing well within the company and a solid contributor.

One day we were at dinner with other coworkers and he got very drunk. And he told this to all of us there. He said that when we were in class together in college he was on several hard drugs at the time, really unable to be motivated, and failing classes.

But then he got that partner feedback. And he credits me with being the reason he quit hard drugs, straightened out his life, and made all A's in college from there on out. Because I was real with him. He recognized that the way he was living was not ok. It was super awkward but that night has stuck with me ever since.

Point is, the sick need to understand they are sick before they will seek a solution or change. I am praying God convicts everyone in this world in the same way.
