When we understand that people move toward Jesus one step at a time, we must accept that the journey might take a little longer than we expected. We need to be people of patience, who are committed to steady influence over the long haul. With patience, we are people who are prayerful, present, and purposeful in the lives of the people around us. And over a lifetime, we'll be blessed to help many people find their way back to God, one step at a time.
