This so great. Exactly right. We need to pray for our loved ones to have disernment. We can give them all the info but ultimately their awakening will be on their time.
Yeah, I think many have tried to push too hard and got backlash for it. I has taken me a year now to "wake up" my sister. Knowing she was fully believing the propaganda and had been for a good chunk of years, I have just touched lightly on subjects I knew she had interest in and planted seeds of, what ifs and waited for her to get curious enough to reach out herself. My biggest break was just a few months ago, she up and started ranting on how Biden and the news she was hearing was bullshit lies(about current problems) I took the leap in and agreed with her then took her down the path of thinking on all the things she had heard about Trump in the past, where was that info coming from.. SHE finally put 2 n 2 together and has now started checking her reactions to see if it was because she was lied to and has started asking me questions her and there or even "did you know.." even if I do know, I let her tell me what she has just figured out then I just add to it if I feel she has missed out on "the point" of it.
I agree. Having the opportunity to explain to someone what you're just starting to notice is a critical part of waking up. As we explain, we solidify our own nebulous thoughts into something more solid.
Too often we're all guilty of trying to brute-force explain what we know to someone instead of letting them explain it to us, and figure it out in the process.
