Pat and Lynn worked together in a large hospital. Lynn was a Christian girl, and whenever she had the opportunity, she sought to tell Pat about her Saviour.
She told her how important it was to settle the question of her eternal destiny NOW, and that the Bible says, “Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” Prov. 27:11Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. (Proverbs 27:1). God does not promise us a tomorrow; tomorrow may never come. “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 2 Cor. 6:22(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) (2 Corinthians 6:2).
At first Pat scoffed at Lynn, and the other employees did, too.
But one Saturday morning, when Pat and Lynn worked the first shift, and no one else was around, Pat meekly said, “Lynn, tell me about heaven and hell.” It was evident that her conscience was being affected now, so Lynn spoke to Pat of sin, of righteousness and judgment to come; she told her of her great need to be saved and of the Saviour so willing to save her.
“I want to turn to the Lord,” said Pat, “but how could I face my relatives?”
Sad to say, as far as we know, Pat never turned to the Saviour.
