She just didn’t seem to fit in anywhere. She went here and she went there but she didn’t find acceptance until she met Jesus.
When she met Him everything seemed to change. Her whole outlook changed. She showed she felt better about herself and others too!
Who are we talking about? We are talking about the woman caught in sexual misconduct. She was looking in the wrong places and to the wrong people for affirmation and acceptance. But when she met the Lord all that changed in her life.
We are told that rejection is one of the most difficult things in life to overcome. Why? We all need to feel and be accepted. But the sad thing of life is we have refined the art of rejecting people who don’t fit into our “molds.” So, where do we turn to be accepted? Where do we go for affirmation?
Well, we go to Someone Who loves us unconditionally and did all necessary to accept us. Jesus did that for the woman who knew the horrors of rejection. I believe He is still doing that for people today. Do you fell you need that today? Then turn to Him in faith right now.
He is ready to accept us when we accept Him as Lord and Savior of our lives. Then, we are on the road to feeling acceptance ourselves.
