daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? I have a dilemma as of late. What to do about an infuriating person and how to handle without judging. We are not to judge people but lead them to Jesus and let him straighten out the problems in those lives. If someone asks me, "what does the Bible say about this or that", I'll tell them but it is not mine or yours to judge them for an infraction. It is very clear that some sins will be dealt with in certain ways but it is God that deals with them, not us. It doesn't matter what we think but only what God's way does. I get sick of the pointing fingers around especially when it is fellow Christians doing it. Our perceived righteousness does so much harm for our faith and causes so many people to be repelled from Jesus. We need to be careful what and how we chastise, if at all. If we are coming off as judging and sentencing someone we are not doing what the Word tells us to do. Speaking truth with love is a whole lot different than speaking truth and not caring if we step all over someone. I don't want to diminish the importance of righteous behavior but no one does it right all the time. No one is to the point where they have it all figured out. We learn and grow until death on this planet. Look at this and just think about the mind of Jesus.

John 8:1-11
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. And early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them. And the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the midst, they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. "Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?" And they were saying this, testing Him, in order that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down, and with His finger wrote on the ground. But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." And again He stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And when they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst. And straightening up, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?" And she said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go your way. From now on sin no more."]
