Brother or Sister,

There is a saying that I have come to realize is completely applicable to those who are "hardened of heart" when it comes to the Lord: "The Lord won't be able to lift you up to stand blamelessly if you are already standing righteously in sin." The one thing that the Lord requires of us is a broken and repentant heart. "You do not desire a sacrifice, or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God." Psalm 51:16-17. Christ is the perfect gentleman. He will never push, never force, but is always willing to do everything that He can once you ask. "Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends." Revelation 3:20. Robert, because of the beauty of free will, will have to make that choice. We as family, friends, or brothers and sisters in Christ, can want many things for His life that we know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, will be a blessing to his life, but if Robert doesn't choose to accept grace, then at that point it is really between him and his Maker. We will always keep you and Robert in our prayers for the love of God to abound in both of you.

Your fellow believers in the faith fighting the good fight,
