Strangely, what happened to the man together with this woman? Shouldn't he be stoned as well?

5. "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." - Matthew 6:21

Sometimes, we may forget what we actually desire in our hearts. We deny accusations by others of our lack of compassion, care, etc. because we are blind to them. Others will see it clearly.

9. "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you." - Luke 6:27

This is difficult. But this quote breaks the cycle of hatred and quarrel. I had a neighbour who was an old, mean lady who constantly knocked at our door and accused us and my mom of doing things like dirtying her exterior walls (apartment) or moving her potted plants, which we didn't. It was difficult, especially when, if asked for evidence, she couldn't produce any. We were not on good terms, but I still respected her as an elderly person. There was animosity between us, and my mom disliked her. It lasted for several months then one day, following the above quote, I did my part and just smiled at her. Initially, she didn't respond. But I told myself, as long as I did my part, my conscience is clear. And soon enough, when we met again several weeks later, she smiled at me and gestured, "Good Day".  My mom and wife still held that animosity between them to this day because they chose not to follow what Christ taught us.

Was he an extrovert or an introvert? Those who are humble and willing to learn and work will do great things! You can see so many others like Bill Gates in our lifetime.
