Woman, I Have Something to Tell You.サンプル

Woman, you are forgiven.

Mary Magdalene lived a life separated from the path of God. Probably she had heard about Jesus, that man who told stories and performed great miracles, but had not approached him.

This was a day like any other for her, until she was caught in the act of adultery. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees took this woman before Jesus to stone her, which was what had to be done according to the rules. Jesus, instead, began to write in the sand and urged the one who was free from sin to throw the first stone. One by one they started to leave.

“10 Jesus straightened up, and not seeing anyone but the woman, said to her: Woman, where are those who accused you? None condemned you?

11 She said: None, Lord. Then Jesus said to him, Neither do I condemn you; Go away and sin no more." (John 8: 10-11)

Once we were all like Mary Magdalene, we failed, things got out of hand, we fell... However, Jesus' reaction was and continues to be the same, he forgave us the sentence we had to pay.

Remember that no matter what we've done, God's love far surpasses it and his forgiveness cleanses us from all sin. You are a new creature in the eyes of God, with a blank page to write better decisions guided by the Holy Spirit. Leave guilt and shame behind, for God is proud to call you his daughter.
