...”If anyone of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone.”
This verse came to me today, and im going to use it to encourage myself, to deal with the issues within my heart myself. Its so easy to take out your anger on those close to you, and judge others because of your own insecurities. Im going to take one day at a time, and hopefully ill see some improvements in the next week.

“By yourself you’re unprotected. With a friend you can face the worst. Can you round up a third? A three-stranded rope isn’t easily snapped (Ecclesiastes 4:12 MSG)
John Ortberg, emphasised that you need to take people “as is” because you can not live life alone,and people provide a source of encouragement.
STONE THROWING is the cause of many breakups,divorces, broken friendships. Stones can be, gossip,superiority, disgust, judgementalism, jealousy, cruelty and many more. It is anything you throw at someone else. These to me are hard stones. My goal is to
1. To recognise my stones
2. Let go of my stones
3. To replace them with precious jewels: Love and Truth
btw accepting is not approving one’s behaviour it is merely respecting the person with endurance, wishing the best for them, and caring for them through prayer.
