As an inspired Christian how would you encourage this lost soul?

Hello saints! I was out witnessing and I talked to a gentleman about Jesus. I asked him when was the last time he had been to church and he stated last Tuesday. He stated he was at his grandfathers funeral. I said I'm sorry to hear that! He said "I'm not! He was a rotten old bastard." Then he said he didn't believe too much in the whole church thing. If he can't see it he don't believe it. I then told him, "You can't see air but you know you breathe it, you can't see your thoughts but you know you think them, you can't see love but you know its there." He then stated he didn't love himself or anybody. He said he didn't care about living! I said not true or you would be already dead. He stated he's been on a destructive path ever since his fiance died 17 years ago.


I told him everything God sends him through is so that he can seek God and trust him. That God could help him let go of that pain and live a blessed life. He then said why did she have to die like she did? He states she got into a car accident and flew out the window and another car landed on her head and it was her 18th birthday. I told him I'm not sure exacly why she died like that, but he needs to focus on the good memories of her. Also if she belived in Jesus she's in heaven and she would never have to experience anything like that again. I also told him God's sends us through tough situations so we can go out help and inspire other people who go through tuff situations. I told him he needs to spend time and trust in the Lord, its Jesus that gives us strength not ourselves. I then talked about 20 more minutes speaking on the goodness of God and his amazing destiny for us. Then it was time for of us to part our seperate ways and go to work. This is we why must be out here as Christians reaching the lost and those who are hurting! What words of inspiration would you have given him?
