Slipping away

'My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back,

let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way

will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.'

James 5.19,20

It's a beautiful thing to stand on the edge, surveying the slippery slope down to destruction, knowing you are about to fall in and then feeling a hand on you shoulder, pulling you back to safety. How precious the thought that we don't walk this road alone and in our darkest moments help will always be sent. How precious to be the hand used to turn someone back. I know what it is to be turned from the error of my way and I thank God that he did not leave me to walk my own way. How then could we possibly stand by and watch as someone slowly slips away? What sort of monster would that make me? I have been saved, I have friends to constantly pull me back, I must do the same for others. It's that simple!
