Stop Chucking Stones

 


When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."John 8:7

You may not be aware of it but do you throw verbal rocks or judgments at people when you yourself have your own issues going on? For instance the Bible verse about taking the ‘log’ out of your own eye so you can see clearly to get the ‘speck’ out of your brothers eye(Matthew 7:3). By this I am not saying to discount concerns or obvious moral downfalls but to realize you are on a journey too.

The best way to win people over is not griping at them or pointing out their faults even out of concern to a close person in your life but instead to bite your tongue, pray, wait 24 hours, pray again then decide. 

Recently I was made aware about had chucked a stone or two at a person close to me and realized like today’s verse that all of us have sinned. It is impossible not to. So Mr. Mrs. or Miss perfect lay the rocks down and go to this person in kindness trying to be kind even if there are ‘issues’. Let the Holy Spirit convict as He dies a way better job at it. 

PRAYER: Oh Lord I wish at times I could just learn to stop talking and judging others. Forgive me and help me restore any relationships that may have been damaged as a result. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
