A few years ago I made some big changes in my life dealing with who I was and who I surrounded myself with. I was into drinking and partying and doing things that I really shouldn't have been doing. I started drinking a lot too, and it ended up really badly on a Halloween night.
I went to a party dressed as captain morgan, with a handle of captain morgan. Let's just say that it ended very badly when I drank almost the whole handle of capt. on my own...... I was way out of it and didn't have a clue what was going on. To make matters worse I am diabetic. Being blackout drunk and diabetic is not something that goes very well together.
Luckily I had an awesome friend who was with me and who didn't drink. He is a very strong Christian and just an awesome guy. My buddy went to the party with me to just hangout and mingle with people there but was drinking a monster energy drink instead of alcohol (and a lot of people there respected him for doing that btw, even though they were all drinking). My friend checked my bloodsugar to see what it was that night and it ended up being low enough to where I needed to eat something or I would go into diabetic shock and eventually die from being too drunk to function and save myself before shock set in. He stayed up for hours, and this was at around 4am, to try and feed me even though I kept throwing stuff up. He feed me until I finally ate something and kept it down.
Can I just tell you how thankful I am for this guy. I would honestly be dead if he wouldn't have been there with me to save me.
As Christian's this is how we are supposed to be this way to our unsaved friends. They are going to die without us staying with them and trying to keep feed them the Gospel until they get it. I don't mean feed it to them forcefully or anything either, be loving and caring with them. But we have to stay with them before it's to late, we have to care about them the way my friend cared about me and saved my life.
Someone didn't give up on each of us, so we can't give up on anyone else.
I'm thankful for my friend who saved me. So very thankful.
