John 8:7 “…If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” (NIV)*

mirror, mirror tell me
may i this stone cast?
does my reflection sparkle fair,
free of tainted past?
…..
or do i resemble her,
needing mercy for my sin–
from you, oh fairest one,
who chooses never to condemn.

John 8:11 “‘No one, sir,’ she said. ‘Then, neither do I condemn you,’ Jesus declared. ‘Go now and leave your life of sin.'” (NIV)*

We don’t always like the reflection – a good reminder to snuggle up close to the One we are to emulate! Thanks Patty.
