Who Are We?

Are we out to help people in need or are we out to help our selves? We are so often looking out for number one, and we are so blinded in the process of taking care of ourselves. We need to take time to notice the unnoticeable. They are in as much need of care as we are. The needy, the hungry, and altogether lost need to be given a helping hand up. Even those of ill repute need our help. We like the religious elite in Jesus' day tend to take up stones to cast at the sinner. We are once in a sinful state like the lost, but at a point in time we have accepted the gift of salvation that Jesus offered to us. I am not saying that we are made sinless, but we are covered the blood of the sinless One. He has forgiven our sins. We can show others the way to salvation. They are in just as much need of Savior as we are. Don't ignore anyone, because we are all going to be in eternity either in Heaven or in Hell.

Who are we to determine if someone lives or dies? Who will be lost or who will be saved? God determines these things. He has given us a choice for our eternity. Do you want to spend it with Him or do you want to end up in Hell with Satan? I have made the choice to accept His gift of salvation so I know where my eternity will be spent.

Drop the stones you hold in your hands,
Spread the Word across the lands.
They need a hand from out of the mire,
And pulled out Hell's eternal fire.

The grace by which we are saved,
Kept us from being eternally enslaved.
Our life is not our own,
We will by Him be known.

Give the lost a helping hand,
And show them that they can stand.
We once in their place,
But now we know His saving grace.
