The story about Jesus meeting a woman who was at a well to get water shows how Jesus uses the facts about someone’s past to lead them into a better life. You can read the entire story in the Bible at John 4:7-26.

Jesus once met a woman getting water from a well. Their conversation shows how Jesus uses facts about her embarrassing past to lead her to peacefulness, purpose, and eternal life. (Read the entire story in the Bible at John 4:7-26.)

If you still struggle with the hurt from a not-so-good past, here are 5 steps to begin your journey to freedom.

  1. Believe that Jesus wants to heal you from the mistakes of your painful past. John 4:16
  2. Admit to God the complete truth about your past. John 4:17
  3. Accept that Jesus already knows what happened in your past, and he understands. John 4:18
  4. Understand who Jesus is, and that he is able to set you free from past hurts. John 4:19, John 4:26
  5. Be free! Start living out your God-given purpose. John 4:28-29, John 4:39

Some of you may have experienced horrific pain in your past. (Please read our previous post entitled, Are You Living With A Shameful Secret?) You may also need the help of your pastor or a mental health professional. 
You can be sure it is God leading you in this journey toward emotional healing and peace. God bless!

  1. Living with an alcohic husband caused a lot of pain and even though Jesus was part of my life I developed feelings of anger, pain, hopelessness, even hate.
    But Jesus was there for me, he forgave me, healed all my wounds and gave me new hope. He stays with us and we can always turn to Him, He is waiting for us , He loves us
