You are in very big trouble young lady.

“The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group” John 8:3

The sins of our past can be haunting. Are they just hanging over us? Is God just waiting for the right time to say “nah, nah, nahey boo-boo! you can’t have that because you screwed up a few times in your day”?  He is not. He most assuredly is not. Instead “Jesus told her, "I am not going to accuse you either. You may go now, but don't sin anymore." John 8:11b

We are forgiven freely but asked to not do it again. How do we fare with this example? Do we see women, fellow moms, with a past, with a known bad choice on their record and judge? Or do we use the Jesus way as our way and say “Come, let me get to know you and let you get to know me!”

Is there someone you have turned your nose up at that you could extend an olive branch to?
