Life has temptations on all sides, all day long. It is exhausting! Temptation pounds like waves against rocks, flies like sharp debris in a hurricane, races like rage trying to cut us off...
Can you close your eyes and imagine having complete peace with God? There was a woman once, who had a past. This woman took a jar of expensive perfume, everything of value that she owned, and came to Jesus, and poured this perfume over his head in an act of worship and sacrifice. Jesus' own disciples - the good guys, the inner circle - judged her, were 'indignant' towards her, criticized her openly. But Jesus defended her. Jesus defended her worship, her touch, and said that what she had done - bringing her hurt, her hope, her love to Jesus - would be bound up in the message of Jesus himself, that her name would be one with his. (Mark 14:1-11) Do you want your past to be in the past, and to be made one with Jesus?
