The idea of gentle instruction with repentance as a goal might seem straightforward. “How difficult can it be?” The answer is, “It’s incredibly difficult.” – @ChrisBrauns crossway.org/articles/12-re…

"That which keeps men off is, that they know not Christ’s mind and heart... The truth is, he is more glad of us than we can be of him. The father of the prodigal was the forwarder of the two to that joyful meeting. Have you a mind?

If you knew his heart, you would.” –– Thomas Goodwin
