May 31st - Morning | LEADING WITH GENTLENESS

Galatians 6:1
Dear brothers and sisters, if another Christian is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.

Falling into sin or making a mistake has been the waterloo of every person, not just Christians. The only difference between a Christian and a non-Christian is that God can always lead the Christians back to the right path because they are His children. J.C. Penny’s first business as a boy was raising hogs and when he sold his first hog and made a profit, he bought more hogs and made more profit. The neighbors, however, began to complain about the smell and noise coming from pigpen. His dad told him to sell everything. Penny argued and rationalized, but his father said kindly, “You have no right to make money if by so doing you are taking advantage of other people.” This became his principle in business. His dad led him gently onto the path of success.
