PLANTING SEEDS: (Truth) Truth can only be found in God’s word. People can share their opinion on truth, which I am going to do with you in a moment during my “Coffee Cup Counseling” section but I encourage you to personally start getting into the word and studying scripture. It will open up a brand new perspective and new life for those that take the time to begin or rekindle their relationship with God.
Scripture Memorization : John 8:10-11
Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?”
“No, Lord,” she said.
And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”
COFFEE CUP COUNSELING: (My Personal Perspective)
This is just my personal experience with scripture. It is just one of the ways that it has impacted my life and gives us an opportunity to interact with one another how it has personally changed our lives.
There is no question that the one single thing that brought me to my knees and broke me like no other was the moment I found out my husband was in a relationship with another woman. Without that single circumstance in my life, I would have never have found my need for Jesus. I’m sad that it took that situation to do so, but it did.
It could have been a million things before. Rejection of my biological father, abuse by a step-father, alcoholism and drug abuse in the home, sexual abuse by a trusted adult, my dabbling in the occult, my own experimentation with alcohol, drugs and wrong choices, including my own affair that happened several years earlier, than my husbands. But I ignored and blew past all the warning signs of my need of Christ during all those situations and I was led for many years by my own flesh. My own feelings, my own way of handling things. I chose many different ways to cope with life, but choosing Jesus was never one of them.
I think I was like many people who are confronted by Christ in the middle of poor choices. I rejected them as much as I rejected Christ. I am sure I turned my nose up and called them “holier than thou”.
Until I needed Him. And I really needed Him. I will never forget that moment that He audibly saved me. I sat on the edge of the bed contemplating taking my own life. Up until that moment I could figure out how to handle all the disappointments in life. But this one, I couldn’t. God audibly spoke. “You won’t get to heaven” I of course, argued. He said again, audibly, “you won’t get to heaven.” I know that God sees our heart so I know he saw my desperation at that time, but he also knew I did not have a relationship with Jesus. At that moment, I took his audible word that suicide was not the answer. I covered my head with my blanket and I cried like a baby for hours, weeks, months, years after that moment.
You see…we all think that Christians are out to judge us. Don’t we? We convince ourselves they must want or get something out of it, like money, or the pride of thinking they are better than everyone else. But what if like God, Christ followers want to share truth and a better life for you, with you?
Looking back, God did not only show me his perspective on my own situation, but he opened up a whole new perspective about adultery all together. Sin all together really. But let’s take a look at how God handled the woman caught in adultery.
To the accusers and onlookers, AND to the man who was with her in the act of adultery, he told them that if they were without sin, they had the ability to throw stones at her. Without another word, one by one, they dropped their stones and walked away.
To the woman caught in adultery, he pointed out her sin and told her not to do it anymore.
To the sinner and to show who is was- He assures us that we are not condemned but we will be corrected.
To me…he helped me see my own situation, the situation of those talking about me, spreading rumors of their own, my husband’s situation and the situation of the woman caught in adultery. With that perspectives, forgiveness would be able to begin. Because you see, when God touches a situation, it does more than just heal us, it begins to heal everyone involved.
Because God has no favorites, but complete love for all who call on Jesus.
So get into God’s word, speak truth and set the captives free.
