In 2 Kings 6, the King of the Syrian's encircled the city with horses and chariots and a great host of army to take Elisha the prophet.  When Elisha's servant arose in the morning, he saw that they were surrounded by a massive army and said to Elisha, what shall we do?

Elisha's response came, "Fear not; for they that be with us are more than they that be with them."  Elisha then prayed saying, "Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see."  And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man and he saw and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.  Elisha then prayed that the armies of the Syrians be smitten with blindness. The Lord led Elisha and his people to safety.



In a similar manner to Elisha, I pray that your eyes will be opened.  I promise that one day when you return to Heaven, there will be thousands of individuals (if not tens of thousands) waiting to thank you for your part in sharing the gospel with them and their conversion.  There will be hosts surrounding  you by both those that you helped to convert and the ancestors of those that you helped convert.  You may say, but I only gave them a pass along card or I only taught them after baptism, or I simply shared my testimony on a tour with them.  All of us play a key role (no matter how large or small) in the conversion of a soul and without all of the parts playing their key roles, the conversion will not take place.
