Today my heart was reflecting on when Jesus was at the well in Samaria. He traveled through a desert not because he had to but because he chose to. There was a meeting to take place not on His terms but on other person's terms. He meet the Samaritan woman where she was. He endured hardship so that He could give her what she needed.
What came to mind today was that a lot of times when you really want to help someone. You can't meet them on your terms. You can't expect them to come to you. You have to go to them you have to sacrifice your conveniences so that their needs can be met.
The question is how bad do you really want to impact the lives of others? Are you willing to suffer hardship and criticism for the sake of bring hope to one person? Some times I lose perspective of others and get frustrated at my circumstances but when I think about the lives of others and what I can do to help them, I am inspired. The journey is worth it when you see that what you possess can meet the needs of others.
The Samaritan woman become so inspired by her meeting with Jesus that she was the first witness to her people. Though she was forgotten by man she was valued by God.
