When the people heard this, they were deeply troubled and said to Peter and the other apostles, “What shall we do, brothers?”

(Acts 2.37 GNB)

Why are some people troubled when they hear about Jesus, and many others not? Same message, different impact. Even when the hearers are of similar background and circumstance.

The Spirit moves as the Spirit moves. Some people respond and some do not. I do not understand it.

But joyful it is for those who respond to the Spirit.

Lord
thank you for the Spirit’s knock
in my heart
