Loved For ALL of YOU

     This past Tuesday Night Our dearest Friend, and everyone's beloved grandma, shared a beautiful Story about the woman who was caught in Adultery found in John 8:1-11. It’s a story about a woman who caught red handed having an affair and the Pharisees decided to use her to test Jesus' Knowledge about the Law of Mosses. They told Jesus everything they saw and they suggested that the woman be stoned to death.


    The woman was absolutely hopeless, and the entire time the Pharisees were screaming for her death, Jesus kept silent.

       As we read the story, Jesus says if anyone among those accusing the woman has no sin, they should be the first one to cast the first stone. No one dared to throw anything at her because those who were accusing her, also knew that they had some serious stuff too they had going on and they too needed to have somebody throw something at them for.

      As I reflected on the story, I kept thinking that no one actually even asked what was the woman's name or even her background. No one even knew where she had come from and even why or how she was having an affair.(we know the How part haha)

      But Jesus knew her, not for her sin but for who she really was. As we read along Jesus is so gentle with her and He specifically tells her that he does not accuse her and even forgives her of her sin.

     As Jesus was talking to her, He even straightened as way of showing this woman that in spite of her sin; she is someone worth respecting, worth paying attention to, worth receiving forgiveness from her savior. I just feel that Jesus did not care about defending Himself publicly, He knew the Law of Mosses that the woman and the man were to be both stoned. He didn't get all religious and started quoting the Law; instead He reacted with compassion by not even identifying the sins of those ready to stone her. (Even though He knew them all). But He instead responded with compassion.

    I just feel when our Father in heaven looks through us, as much He is capable of seeing our crap, our ugliness, He chooses to see us, love us and forgive us for who we are and are meant to be, and that is Women Worth everything, women worth of receiving His forgiveness, not because of what we can do or have done because of his love and grace through the cross.

     So when people accuse you, or you're experiencing days when your past is accusing you and bringing you down,(just tell those accusing voices to just SHUT UP in Jesus name) and also MOST importantly, remember that with Jesus its all in the past and He is restoring your future!!!.

You're loved
