Some of you, there are some who you encounter the Lord and you're just
so sick of what your life has brought you to. When you see the Lord,
He's presented to you clearly. Your heart goes out to Him.

You don't care what the cost is. I must have you, Lord. I don't care
what it's going to cost.

I don't care about anything. Please, I must have Jesus. We've seen that
happen many times in this place.

But just as often, I hate to say, the rejection. It's not an outright
rejection. It isn't like, get out of my life sort of thing.

No, it's a very subtle, quiet decision deep in the heart. I don't really
want to go that far.
