(As most of us here in the US--actually throughout the world probably--can't help being aware, the plight of the Governor of South Carolina is heart-stirring. If a man looks to be in hell, it is Mark Sanford who has suffering etched on his face. And thinking about helping someone who may be strugging with temptation not go into that abyss has produced the following thoughts.)
To Save Someone From Sin
(c) By: Sharon Slaton Howell
Mercies new every morning,
our Bible tells me and you."
And this includes what we need
to help save others, too--
not only in the early hours,
in this needed work we do,
in this work...so very holy,
but noon and night as well.
To help a fellow traveler
not have to enter hell,
God-inspired...empowered,
we are more than able.
In this saving work divine
we Christ's own are about,
turning to God for know-how,
He is sure to help us out.
That our loving Father wants all
to be saved, there is no doubt.
*Lamentations 3:22, 23
