Acts 26:28-29, NIV

Then Agrippa said to Paul, "Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?"

Paul replied, "Short time or long—I pray God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains."

This should also be my prayer as I work through my day. I should pray this prayer for my family members who don't believe, for my coworkers, strangers on the street, and even for my customers. Nothing is impossible with God and He can use our words and actions to persuade and help others to believe -- even those we may have "given up on" and also those we just met. To borrow a biblical parable of the seeds: keep sharing God's love with others because we might be the water that helps nurture, the gardner that puts the seed where it's suppossed to go, or the harvester who gets to see the seed find home.
