It occurred to me this weekend that God will only change the hearts of those who allow Him to.

You see, I have been praying for someone and this weekend I prayed that this person wouldn't do something. I felt the gentle but firm voice of God reminding me that this person has free will.

I wonder if God is reminding me of that because He is preparing me for the moment when this person does that thing. Or perhaps He is simply trying to redirect my prayer. I hope it is the later.
