Rescue the Perishing

"Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
Weep ore' the erring one, lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save"
                                                         (Fanny Crosby)

Do we really weep ore' the erring one or do we tend to look upon them critically? Many of our soldiers in arms fall and give in to temptation. However, are we to just leave them on the battlefield to die or do we go to their aid, their rescue? Think about it.

Many of our spiritual comrades in arms need us. Many times they will be receptive to our 'Rescue Mission', sometimes not. We must try. We must go to their aid with the goal of restoring them to God's service.

Friend of the Friendless

Throughout our sphere of influence, one may find individuals who suffer loneliness, depression, anxiety, and personal loss. They are hurting. They, often, do not show it on the outside, but they are hurting, and in pain, nonetheless. Many have nowhere to turn, no one to talk to. They desperately need a friend who will listen to them and be of some encouragement.

If we ask God to bring these dear souls our way, He will do it. Then our opportunity begins...that is we now can become a true friend of the friendless. What a profound opportunity it is.

However, if we ask God to do this, we must always be looking for those he sends. To be a friend of the friendless...what a great ministry if we choose to seek it.

Someone needs you, today! Find them.
