Bystander Beware

Bystander Beware

Dare not to look in apathy at another’s agony.
Odds are that it could be you the next time.
Summon strength; call up courage and compassion.
Order your thoughts; then take appropriate action.
Maybe you were born for this moment, this purpose.
Every second counts, there is no time to waste.
Trouble may come, but think of the greater good.
Helpers sometimes get hurt, but help anyway.
Investing in other’s need will yield blessings for you.
Not only can you make a difference, but alter a destiny.
God will reward your sacrifice and honor you for your effort.

“Do not stand idly by when your neighbor’s life is threatened. I am the Lord.” Leviticus 19:16b

I am glad Jesus did not stand idly by as mankind was doomed by sin. He did what it took. He stepped in at the cross of Calvary and paid the price. He looked beyond our fault and saw our need. Do you know Jesus as Savior and Lord?
