Don't Throw Stones Instead Throw Kindness.

“They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!”” John‬ ‭8:7‬ ‭

Jesus was the one person in this world from the beginning of time to the end that is worthy of being rude and judging someone by their sins, but He didn't. He didn't spend His time on earth chasing every sinner and making them feel bad for their mistakes, instead, He found them in their sin, was kind, and encouraged them to turn from their sins. We should spend our time helping others turn from their sins not judging them for them. In the Bible, there is a story that I have always loved because it really shows Christ's true love for us. Here is a short reference to it to refresh your memory if you do know it. There was a woman caught in adultery, Jesus was in the crowd and they were waiting for Him to slip up and say something that they could trap Him in. They kept demanding Him to give them an answer, He stood up and said, "All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone." The crowd left one by one oldest to youngest. That is when Jesus spoke with the woman and said, "Where are your accusers? Didn't even one of them condemn you?" She replied, "No, Lord," she said. And Jesus said, "Neither do I. Go and sin no more." Jesus was the one person that was worthy enough to throw the first stone didn't. Try to be like Jesus when you see someone sinning, be patient, and just tell them to turn from their sins. Don't try to force the outcome because they will only be able to answer and choose for themselves. Today, make sure that you're helping others but not being judgemental, it's not your place to judge and throw the stone instead it is important to love someone and tell them they should change for the sake of their eternity. Don't spend your time throwing stones, instead throw kindness, patience, and love towards them. Here are some verses to reflect on today.  “Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.” Ephesians‬ ‭4:32‬ ‭ “You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.”Luke‬ ‭6:36‬ ‭ “A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people.” 2 Timothy‬ ‭2:24‬ ‭ “Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.”Proverbs‬ ‭16:24‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
