Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

"Let he who has not sinned throw the first stone."
(John 8:7)

Reflection:

Do you notice something very important about this
verse.  It doesn't say which sin.  I really think what
Christ is telling me is that if you see someone
committing a sin, lets say adultery, and I'm a liar I
guess I better put my stone away.  I better take care
of my own house, before I destroy someone else's.
It is very true, we are all human beings therefore we all
sin.  And all who sin fall short of the glory of God, and
only through the Grace of our Savior Jesus Christ do we
receive that glory.  I don't know about you but I have
enough sin in my life to deal with, thank God for His
Grace.

Prayer:

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred . . . let me sow love
Where there is injury . . . pardon
Where there is doubt . . . faith
Where there is despair . . . hope
Where there is darkness . . . light
Where there is sadness . . . joy
O, Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled . . . as to console
To be understood . . . as to understand,
To be loved . . . as to love
For it is in giving . . . that we receive,
It is in pardoning, that we are pardoned,
It is in dying . . . that we are born to eternal life.

Quote for the Day

Samantha Smith
Ambassador of Peace and Goodwill
(1972-1985)

"If we could be friends just by getting to know
each other better, then what are our two
countries really arguing about? Nothing could
be more important than not having a war if war
 would kill everything."
