I read recently about a French cave explorer who got lost and stranded, deep in the heart of the earth. The rescuers searched diligently in each chamber of the cavern. Finally, they located him at the lowest point. Slowly and carefully, they guided him back to the surface, into the light of day.
We have fellow adventurers all around us who leave the light of God and seek to discover the hidden, dark facets of life. They become lost, and in the process they hurt others and themselves. We cannot leave them in that condition. We who are anchored in Christ must seek them out and help them return to God's truth.
Has someone, through their word or actions, wounded you and others? Have they left the light of Christ? Don't allow your pain to stop you from rescuing them. Reach out and help them return to God.
Lord, make me conscious of others I need to rescue.
