We must never forget that our progress is as fast as the weakest person among us. The sooner we can take our brother or sister by the hand and make sure they’re okay, the sooner we will move on. Jesus told the story of the 100 sheep and the 99 that made it home, but there was one who was not there. What did the shepherd do? He went back to get the lost sheep. If it is God’s intention to make sure that everyone gets in, shouldn’t that be our intention? In John 3:17 it says that no one should be lost. That’s God’s plan. We’re not just in this for ourselves; it is about caring for one another. We should all consider our ways in this regard.
