If someone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back, you can be sure that whoever brings the sinner back from wandering will save that person from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins. -James 5:19-20(NLT)
WHEN YOU BRING BACK WANDERERS
A poem and essay by ILMA
If someone was wandering away from truth and is brought back
That person who led them from straying follows the straight path
When you help bring back to God his children, he is faithful
He will bless you with an overflow and your life will be bountiful.
All God’s people are called to shepherd God’s flock
He expects them all to help the lost to be brought back
When you bring back wanderers close to the truth
They are actually sowing seeds and will reap God’s fruits.________________________________________
Our lives here on earth is like a journey. We are not destined to stay in this world, but we are passing through this stopover so we can experience God’s mercy and grace. Sometimes in our journey, we get sidetracked or lost. In a real travel experience, when we get lost, we either find our way back through a compass, a map or a direction from someone who knows the way. These tourist guides have had many years of experience and are equipped to get you back on track. When you bring back a lost soul to Jesus, you save them from death.
