❤️ Before You Throw the Stone…
“Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”
— John 8:7
It’s easy to see someone else’s mistakes. It’s easy to judge, criticize, point fingers, and convince ourselves that their sin is worse than ours.
But Jesus reminds us to look at our own hearts first.
Every one of us has fallen short. Every one of us has needed forgiveness. Every one of us has received grace we didn’t deserve.
Jesus didn’t tell the woman that her sin didn’t matter. He showed her mercy, and then He told her, “Go, and sin no more.”
That’s the kind of grace we should extend to others—truth without condemnation, correction without cruelty, and mercy without judgment.
Before we pick up a stone to throw at someone else, may we pause and remember the stones we deserve to have dropped at our own feet.
Lord, give me a heart that is quick to show grace and slow to judge. Help me look in the mirror before I point at someone else. ❤️
🙏 “Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.” — Luke 6:36
