But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will
be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
The man replied, "Well, now that you're an established customer..."
Jesus' disciples had a persistence to their witness. Do you?
(Acts 1.8
NRSV)
I read recently about a door-to-door salesman who had the worst kind of luck. Day after day
he'd walk up and down the streets with his product. No one would buy a thing. Every day he
knocked on the same woman's door. Every day she turned him away. Finally, he appeared on
her doorstep for the umpteenth time. Just to keep the man from ever returning, the woman
made a purchase. The next day, the man rang her doorbell again. "What are you doing here?"
she asked, exasperated.
Persistent God, I am thankful you have never given up on reaching me. Help me to be
persistent in being your witness. Amen.
