Loving Jesus!

Jesus looked up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and do not sin again. John 8:10-11

Let me ask, how does it feel when your loved ones decide to stay away from you? Does it feel like you are still being loved and cared for? This simple question, when answered by the Lord Jesus, can be seen in John 8:10-11. Many times we find ourselves in different situations of life, and we get to see whether the loved ones will desert us, or they will stick around without been too close.

This is a widespread trend among humans; no one wishes to associate with failures, downtrodden, weak, and beggarly ones. Instead, everyone desires people who will be with them through the nights and the glorious days. Jesus showed the woman caught in the act of prostitute that her community people can castigate her not minding the circumstances.

However, as for Jesus, he cannot cast away a loved one for any reason; but, He can stoop low to pick the person up and make an edifice from the broken pieces. Isn’t that the wonder that only love could perform. Jesus is love personified. If we carry His seed in us, we can be the same too. In John 15:5, Jesus said, “I am the vine, and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I, in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me, you can do nothing.”

Prayers:
1. Thank you, Jesus, for your mercy and grace.
2. Father, help me to show love to everyone around me as I go out today, not minding their physical, emotional, or mental state.
