God patiently waits, and sometimes it seems endlessly; and then one day God says, “I accept that”; that is His response. He is saying, in effect, “They have heard the gospel and they have finally made their choice. They have settled it. They do not know it, but they have said, ‘Not tonight, not now, I’ve got too many things to do.’ ” God says, “That’s his response, and it’s settled.” There is nothing anybody can do after that.
