Do you have a past that you are ashamed of? Are you
struggling to overcome something that you know is destroying
you? Do you feel all alone and that no one understands the
pain you are going through?
I want you to know that Jesus hasn’t changed.As He was
for the Samaritan woman, the loving Savior is still your very
present help in your time of need (see Ps. 46:1). He knows the
suffering, shame, and struggles you are going through right
now. And even if what you are going through is a
consequence of bad life choices and mistakes of your own
doing, He doesn’t abandon and forsake you. No—a thousand
times, no! He goes out of the way to have a personal
appointment with you, to restore and rescue you. The fact that
you are reading this right now is a confirmation that Jesus is
reaching out to you with His love, grace, and forgiveness.
Talk to Him as the woman did. Taste and touch His grace
and compassion for you as she did. And like her, discover
Jesus’ forgiveness, freedom, and strength to walk into a bright
new future.
Today’s Thought:
Right now, Jesus is reaching out to you with His love, grace,
and forgiveness.
But He needed to go through Samaria. So He came to a city of
Samaria which is called Sychar… Now Jacob’s well was
there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat
thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour. A woman of
Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a
drink.”
JOHN 4:4–7
In this world of tremor and chaos in the past, there's only one person I've turned myself to, It's to God. I will admit, I have been through darkness and derailed my way but with His power and greatness, I was able to survive.
Thank you for sharing this tonight. You will be a great pastor in the future. Amen.
