                                            LOVE POURED OUT PART VIII

"I, was a sinful woman.... That is how everyone know me.... That is how I saw myself as well... That meant I was not loved.... But today that has changed..... It all changed because I dared to go and see a Man named Jesus.... I had heard of Him.... I had heard of His kindness...I had heard as well that He had been invited to the home of the Pharisee Simon.... I decided I would go and see Him... I did not want to go empty handed.... So I brought with me my most treasured possession.... My bottle of very expensive perfume....I looked for Jesus when I arrived at Simon's home.... The moment I saw Him I slipped behind Him... I could not stop crying.... My tears wet His feet.... So I loosened my hair to dry them.... I kissed them for they are beautiful to me.... I then poured perfume over them.... I knew Jesus would understand me... Others may not.... But that did not matter... I then heard Jesus talking to Simon.... He told him a story... That story touched my heart... I don't know if Simon understood the story.... But I did.... Jesus understood thhat I love Him so very much.... And Jesus has now just spoken the words I have been longing to hear from Him... He told me that I have been forgiven!!.... I, a sinful woman, have been forgiven my many sins!!... I am no longer guilty!!... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn that a sinful woman has been forgiven by Jesus....

Jesus is the sinful woman's only hope to find forgiveness for her many sins. And her hope is fulfilled as you can read in Luke 7:48

Then Jesus said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."

Jesus turns to the woman and speaks to her the words she has been longing to hear that her sins are forgiven... She looks at Jesus with gratitude in her eyes. She may not yet fully understand what these words mean but she knows them to be true and life changing for her.
