The truth of the matter is evangelization, if done right, does not always bear fruit right away but it will. This is to say it is not a manner of speaking nor is it really defined by its content, but it is more a way of being with others. When one grows closer to Christ sharing His love is the result of His love for you and your response to that love. It doesn’t mean you must ask the question of knowing Him and His Love every five minutes to all you encounter. Rather, it is a general effort which although not always bearing immediate fruit will eventually. So what stands in the way of this? From the active side, erroneous notions of it (expectations), fear, and self-deception/lack of surrender, and from the passive side, misperception of the faith and/or its content, the typical lies about conformity and its cost, and the simple decision against it are all significant.
