Go

He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. But He needed to go through Samaria.
— John 4:3–4

Dear Friend:

Do you feel alone? Do you feel surrounded by uncaring people? Do you feel as if the world is ending? Do you wonder if God will never forgive you for your sin?

My message to you today is short and simple. The women at the well in the worlds eyes deserved nothing. She had many divorces and in fact when she met Jesus she was living with a man. Jesus took a path from Judea and went out of his way to go to Samaria. Samaria is a place where Jews were not to go and if they did they were not to speak to Samarians’. Jesus defied law and taught what he wants each of us to get and that is to “GO” and forgive, repair and touch people’s lives. Those around us need a gentle kind word daily.

I had a talk with a 20 something boy and he began to open up to me and tell me the things he has done. He admitted to drug abuse, going to jail, and dropping out of High School. He told me he has had trouble getting a job because of his long hair, piercings, and tattoos. He regrets it! What is he suppose to do? He wanted life to be better. He doesn’t know what made him open up to me but he was at a crossroad with a choice to continue doing life his way or go on a new path, Jesus way.
He miraculously listened as I told Him God’s plan for his life. My final words to him were “if your sitting in bed at night take the time to remember you’re at a crossroad and if you chose to find out about Jesus, just tell Him you want to know Him and could he show you the way.”

Let’s pray: Lord help me to be have more compassion for those around me. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

God is there for you and He gives you the strength to “Go” to others in peace to love and serve.

Let’s roll,
Elaine
