Jesus Will Not Send You Away

Have you ever been afraid to draw close to God? Maybe you’ve felt your sin is too bad to be forgiven or that you don’t have anything to offer God.

Well, in Luke chapter 7, we’re told that during the middle of a dinner party hosted by the religious leaders of the day, a sinful woman came, uninvited, and she began to wash Jesus’ feet- it says, with her own tears, and with expensive perfume.

The religious leaders were horrified! But guess what—Jesus was not horrified. He said to them…

When I entered your home, you didn’t offer me even water to wash the dust from my feet, but she has washed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

That’s very moving to me. He refused to send her away, and He said that her act of love was better than anything they had done for Him!

Today is the day to draw close and let God into the deepest places of your heart. Go to Him in prayer, and trust He will not send you away.
