....Seek & Save That Which is Lost!


Can you recognize someone that is lost when you see them?....When was the last time you pointed someone in the right direction?

I was leaving a department store today and I made eye contact with someone that had a perplexed look on their face - I saw perplexity in this persons eyes.....I proceeded to get into my car, placed the items I purachsed into the car and place the keys into the ignition. Before I started the car, my heart felt on the perplexed look on this persons face. I couldn't leave, what if he needed me? What should I do? I looked to my left then I realized that this individual pulled his SUV near to where I was and raised his hand as if he was in class. Usually there is apprehension when it comes to a stranger, especially during these days and times; but fear was dismissed because I discerned the need. He asked, "Do you know where the Home Depot is?" I gave him the directions, he thanked me and went to his destination "Home Depot" The interesting part is the fact that the Home Depot was at the next red light (not even a mile from where we stood).

Life is like this.  Perplexed and broken people are always looking for someone that knows "the directions of life" Often times we dismiss people that are hurting - hurting people that are in desperation mode are always crossing our paths - the question is - have I discovered the answer to life? If I'm lost...how can I point others in the right direction? - how can I lead those that are in the dark if I have not discovered the light of the world? Jesus is the way, truth and life - NO man can come to the Father(God) but through Christ - Choose Christ for your Life!
