“So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. ” John 8:7 King James Version (KJV)
Do you ever feel like you may have almost arrived spiritually then find yourself passing judgment on someone because of their appearance, lifestyle, beliefs? It is very easy to slip into a secular, judgmental, condemning mode but then remember that scripture says ALL have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. (Romans 3:23)
Certainly a person who is ‘different’ will not be won to the Lord by being condemning and belittling. Many things in life lead people to getting messed up. The motto ‘pray first’ is a bracelet I wear daily and have to remind myself at times before saying or thinking something that ‘praying first’ is exactly what God requires of us.
It is easy to slip into hate, anger, freshly actions when your mind doesn’t stay focused on things of the Lord. Loving someone different doesn’t mean you are agreeing with them but allow God and The Holy Spirit to work through you simply pray and be kind. You be kind and let God do the rest.
PRAYER: Our world has many problems and there are many messed up souls out there but I am not perfect and regret ever thinking an unkind thought about someone. Help me Lord pray for people and be sincere and watch as the Spirit works. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
