We cannot be anyone's spirituality for them and our continual presence will not make them change their mind. God has to do things His way far better than we think we can do.
Isaiah 55:7-9
… 7 Let the wicked man forsake his own way and the unrighteous man his own thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon. 8“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. 9“ For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts."
God has knowledge of every thought and intent of the heart of every human being. He knows exactly what is needed for someone, we do not have this kind of knowledge. To think that we can help God out with our own ideas is arrogance. To think that we are the only ones God can use in someone's life is to have an unwarranted elevated opinion of ourselves.
Romans 11:33
"O, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and untraceable His ways!"
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
1 Corinthians 1:25
"For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength."
What a blessing to be able to let someone go and leave them with God.
