The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Few things are more frustrating than trying to persuade another who will not see your point of view.

‘Will not’ is worse than ‘cannot’ because while they can still see clearly with their eyes, they choose to remain blind to thinking themselves toward a different conclusion.

20/20 vision doesn’t necessarily result in a 20/20 decision.

To be truly open minded happens only when we opt to continue to reason to the observable conclusions of our five senses and subject our findings to moral and ethical standards. And even then, understanding that our internalized morals and ethics are also largely learned early on from other people’s life and experiences and enlightenment to a spiritual dimension purely by being a creation of God.

It’s complicated for sure. But fortunately, we are only responsible for presenting truths, not for the changes and decisions which may result.

Therefore, becoming frustrated is the wrong response.

Just plant your seeds and pray they take root.
