The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
(2 Peter 3:9 NIV)
This is something I have struggled with understanding. Why do so few people truly repent and believe the gospel? I get discouraged and frustrated at how closed off and distracted many people are to the gospel. But understanding this verse helps me understand God is patient hoping that all would repent giving them every chance. God give me wisdom in how to reach those that don't know or have rejected the gospel. Use InterVarsity, make us a people of prayer and evangelism that many would come to know you.
Lord I pray for many to repent. I pray you use me and my story to bring others to repentance. I pray I would also be living daily in repentance also.
Amen
