UNBELIEVABLE


                                                              Unbelievable.

I could not believe that we had missed singing Happy Birthday to Alba.  I felt so bad.

I hope there will be another time just to say hello.

Stories that impact our lives and inspire us to have hope when we believe come alive when we meditate on them.

Simone, the Pharisee a proud and self-righteous man, invites Jesus to eat with him.  Then the unbelievable  happens and a woman who had lived a sinful life comes in the open door and approaches Jesus.  She is weeping and her tears fall on his feet.  She dries them with her long hair and anoints them with a kiss and expensive perfume..

Simone as the host should have done this. His heart was cold and he speaks out against Jesus. " No prophet would allow a sinful person to touch them."

Jesus knew she had a good heart and she believed she could not be forgiven.

Jesus was filled with compassion and told her her sins had been forgiven.  Go in peace and live a new life.

One of my favorite stories..  Every day is a new day when we accept forgiveness.  We are loved unconditionally.

Belief can change your life when you know you are loved unconditionally.
