The Lord opened Lydia’s heart to pay attention to what was being said by Apostle Paul. This gives us an understanding of how the Lord so often works in the hearts of people who genuinely open their lives to Him. It is the Lord who opens our hearts and not we ourselves. When our heart is truly opened then we surely pay attention to the Word of God
