The compassion of a stranger change the life of the woman at the well.
Too often Jesus is seen as just another moral teacher.
He is a man of compassion.
He watches as the sad woman comes to the well alone.
He feels her pain.
He speaks to her and asks her to draw some water from the well for him.
Yes he knows all about her and the immoral life she has lead.
Now none of the other women will have nothing to do with her.
She feels so lonely and depressed.
She is amazed at his knowledge and his willingness to talk to her.
His compassion and acceptance heal her wounded soul.
She runs back to town to share the wonder of his love and transforming grace.
She knows he is the Messiah they have been waiting for.
We are going to do some shopping.
It is raining again.
It must be difficult when we realize some changes have to be made.
Rick worked hard to be a lawyer but the time has come to let go of it all.
Life can be sad but every emotion we feel is important.
Be kind to the strangers you meet.
