To impose a fine on a righteous man is not good, nor to strike the noble for their uprightness. Proverbs 17:26 ESV I was in a cafe yesterday and there was a group of  people gathering there and in moments I pigeon holed them in my mind, labelled them, judged them... I'd imposed a fine. Imposing a fine on them in my mind without even meeting one of them...and realised that this was what I did. This has become my habit. Ouch. It was easy to do. And it was fun. Ouch! "To impose a fine on the righteous is not good" The person behind the counter had the name "Trainee" on their badge. Asking that person what their actual name was, telling them they were doing a great job was not hard. It took 15 seconds. It's the opposite habit. Rather than impose a fine, give a blessing. But to do that I had to look. Look See See people #proverbs #somethingtochewon #habits #seepeople #beanencourager #lovepeople

Romans 1.8-9.nlt ...I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith in him is being talked about all over the world. God knows how often I pray for you. Day and night I bring you and your needs in prayer to God... In reply to an email asking  "will you pray for me during this..." the reply came back "I already am praying for you" What an awesome response this person got from their friend. Paul was passionate about the people in the church in Rome, knew their needs, and kept praying for them. Be that friend. Pray for one another. For each others real needs Be thankful for the people in your life Make it a habit of it We can all do this if we choose to... #pray #habits #lovepeople
