TIM - COVERED BY GRACE
 Jesus was sitting by a well waiting for his disciples when she arrives. At this time of day, most avoid the well, but this woman prefers it. It's quiet. She is alone. There is no one to condemn or judge her. You see she is well known around the town and her story is full of shame. This woman came to the well thirsty - but not just for water. For something more. She feels empty. She has been searching for satisfaction in relationships, but it all turns to brokenness and baggage and pain. Jesus already knows her story, and when she realizes this, she doesn’t flee in embarrassment or shame. She is excited and wants to know more. So, how is it possible that revealing all of her baggage would lead to fulfillment? One word – GRACE. It is when we experience the grace of God that our shame turns into a yearning for him. If shame is the driving force in your life, you’ll never feel reprieved. Come before Jesus and see what happens when your shame is met with his Grace.
