Charity beareth all things… – 1 Corinthians 13:7
If you should meet with some extraordinary sinner who opens his mouth with cruel speeches such as you have never heard before, and if by attempting to do him good you only excite him to ribaldry and blasphemy, do not be astonished; have at him again, for charity “beareth all things,” whatever they may be. Push on and say, “Yes, all this proves to me how much you want saving. You are my man; if I get you to Christ there will be all the greater glory to God.” O blessed charity, which can thus cover all things and bear all things for Christ’s sake.
Do you want an example of it? Would you see the very mirror and perfection of the charity that beareth all things? Behold your divine Lord. Oh, what He has covered! It is a tempting topic, but I will not dwell on it. How His glorious righteousness, His wondrous splendour of love has covered all our faults and all their consequences, treating us as if He saw no sin in Jacob, neither perversity in Israel. Think what He bore when He came unto His own and His own received Him not! What a covering was that when He said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” What a pitying sight of the fearful misery of man our Lord Jesus had when holy tears bedewed those sacred eyes! What a generous blindness to their infamous cruelty He manifested when He prayed for His bloodthirsty enemies. O beloved, you will never be tempted, and taunted, and tried as He was; yet in your own shorter measure may you possess that love which can silently bear all things for the elect’s sake and for Christ’s sake, that the multitude of the redeemed may be accomplished, and that Christ, through you, may see of the travail of His soul. ~ C.H. Spurgeon

He Hath Said 
I once wrote a letter to a gentleman whom Ellen and I had met in the pool of our complex. I did this after he had told me that there is no God. He did this in such a way so as to shock me and others. He exited the pool and lifted his arms to heaven, and shouted in a loud voice::”God if you’re up there strike me dead.” Then he proceeded to say to me: “see there is no God”.
I was taken aback, but I was not done. I’ve prayed for him and wrote him a letter. In that letter I explained to him how His actions only proved how much God loved Him, and that that love had already been displayed for Him on the cross as He died for his sins. I offered to buy his dinner and answer his questions should he ever want to do that. So far he has not taken me up on that offer, but in our meetings now he is very cordial, and I just let him know in the same way that I still respect him as a person who God created.
This message reminded me that I need to be that way to all who I meet.

Oh my! Yes, our God is so very patient! I have prayed that this man will take you up on that offer and that it will lead to his salvation. May the Holy Spirit bring conviction unto repentance. Amen.
I tend to come off as a bit pushy because it is so eternally important that the person receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. But then I remember that we are not to toss pearls before swine so if one says they don’t want to hear it, I oblige. I then just pray for them.
Have a wonderfully blessed day, Jerry, amen! o/
