A curious fact: every time I mention God in my posts (which I do just in passing or when quoting the Bible, but not proselytizing or anything), I instantly lose a few subscribers. Makes me happy, actually. I don't want these types to hang around my substack anyway. Those that stay have passed the test.
I seems like "understand with their heart" must come first in order to be able to see and listen. As those that look and hear do not see and listen, nor understand. "Converted" meant from Judaism into Christianity, I gather.
You are spot on!! Your analysis of what is going on in people's hearts is so accurate. I know that when we have adversity in our life it can help us draw closer to our Heavenly Father and his Son or we can choose to get bitter and fall away into denial. Even then I know that God is trying to help us come back into the fold because we are his spirit children and loves us unconditionally.

Thanks for that!
