Episode 6: Divine Appointments, Identity Crises, and The Woman at the Well

Finding Grace In The Wilderness

Send us a text

Sharon discusses a woman in great need of finding grace in the wilderness, the Woman at the Well. This divine appointment with Jesus changed her life as she received the Living Water He offered her. He came to visit and help her on purpose. He went out of His way to find himself alone in the heat of the day with this Samaritan Woman that the Bible does not name. He revealed to her that He was the Messiah, the first time He ever told anyone that truth. He reached into her heart and changed her forever. After a healing touch from Him, she ran off, leaving her jug behind to tell everyone about her encounter.
Like this Samaritan woman, we often find ourselves in thirst for Living Water, Jesus. This week we discuss how the woman at the well was filled with shame and isolated herself from others because of bad feelings she had about herself. She had a reputation for poor choices, and no doubt had been called names. Names are hung on us too, whether as a result of our choices or because someone has treated us unfairly. Today, we talk about addressing those things that the devil has used to encumber us that we may not even realize are there---words written on our hearts. Words that we have claimed because we believe that we deserve them. Words that have inprisoned our hearts. Words of condemnation placed on ourselves or by others.
Let today be the day that the Master stops by to see you and has that divine appointment with you and clarifies that once and for all your identity is in Him as a precious daughter of the King. Jesus loves women. Jesus loves you. We will see that in today's story.
