The Jews picked up rocks to stone Jesus. (John 10: 31)
We’ve had much proof recently of individuals, groups, and mobs “picking up rocks” to show their displeasure with an event, with a choice, with a person, with anything that opposed their thinking and their “rights”.  

Though our interactions with others may be limited due to the pandemic, anytime we laugh at a mistake that is made, criticize another, are negative, or constantly put another down we are picking up rocks with the intent of throwing them.  

ACTION:  
Today, affirm another; recognize something good in each person you meet.  Be your own filter and never let a rock, a chip, or a pebble be thrown… or spoken.  Find the good in every one of your actions this day and in those with whom you interact.

PRAYER:  
Lord, Jesus.   Help me to recognize Your face in every person I meet.  May I see You.  May I treat You, in them, as I want to be treated by You, God of Mercy and Compassion.  Amen.
