HELPING OTHERS

A man was making his way over the mountains through a terrible snow storm. He gradually got weaker & weaker, until at last he stumbled & fell.

He said to himself, "This is the end. I shall never be found!" He was too weak to rise, but as he fell, his hand struck the body of another man who had fallen in the same place.

This first man was unconscious & the man who had just fallen rose to his knees & bending over began to rub his hands & face, until by & by the man's eyes opened.

He had saved another's life, but he had also saved himself, for the exercise had kept the life in his own body.

Thus, when you have a passion for souls, when you go seeking the lost, when you lift the burdens of others, your own vision of Jesus is clearer, your own hope of eternity is stronger, your own assurance of salvation is greater.
