Condemned no more.

^{John 8:2-11
2} At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. ³ The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group ⁴ and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. ⁵ In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” ⁶ They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. ⁷ When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” ⁸ Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
⁹ At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. ¹⁰ Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
¹¹ “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

This is one of my favorite stories in the bible, it holds such a personal place in my heart that I hear Jesus saying to me "Then neither do I condemn you, Go no and leave your life of sin." The image of a girl on the ground surrounded by people, by lies, and by the world feeling condemned for what she had done reminds me of so many stories today. I have come across so many girls who experience the same feeling. They are getting stones thrown at them for the lies that Satan wants them to believe. So many are ashamed and believe their sin is to great. They will meet guys who do not give them the same grace God gives, they will have family and friends who judge them for what they have done, and they will not forgive themselves. Binded in the lies that their sin is to big, that they are forever ruined. Praise the Lord that those are lies. The truth is in Jesus's words "Then neither do I condemn you, Go now and leave your life of sin." My prayer is that every girl feels Jesus reaching down for them and picking them up. Saying child you are forgiven, you are loved, you hold so much worth in my eyes. God's grace is bigger then any sin we can commit, and his love covers all.
