In our Holy Bible there is related an unforgettable story of an unnamed figure, who encountered Jesus at Jacob's Well in Sychar, Samaria.
My dear wife introduced the message below by stating: "After studying and reflecting on the scriptures of the story of the Samaritan woman that Jesus met at the well (John 4:1-42), I imagined how she might have told her story in the latter days of her life, relating her story in first person singular, recollecting what 'Might have been in her own words.'"
Reflections:
And even now after all these years, I still recall there was such a peace in His presence. When He spoke, my heart felt a strange warmth.
There was love, understanding and acceptance. All the things which I had been so hungry for, had been striving for and just couldn't seem to find.
And then there was joy, for no reason, just a deep feeling of well-being. I felt so clean, knowing that no matter what had happened yesterday, all my yesterdays were over and that all was well today and would be well for all my tomorrows.
He seemed to be saying that there was nothing that could not be forgiven, forgotten and erased. That it was possible to turn away from all my failures, to be set free to turn away and to go and sin no more.
In the light of His glorious presence, all the shadows just seemed to fall behind me.
