See a man who told me everything...

From today's reading:  Then the woman left her water jar and went back to the city. She said to the people, "Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah, can he?"  John 4:28-29

I can imagine this woman with her heart filled with the surge of hope that comes from the presence of the Lord.  It brings up the fact that we can't hide who we are from God.  He knows us deep down inside; who we are, what we do, how we feel.  And the Lord accepts us right where we are.  When we ourselves face who we are, then the Lord can begin the healing that is necessary to bring us from a place of brokenness to a place of wholeness.  Once we have faced ourselves, then we too will run with joy to bring others to Jesus.
