READ: Luke 13:10-17
“We love him, because he first loved us.” – 1 John 4:19
Many women are embittered by their lives’ experiences. They are hardened, unforgiving and unmerciful. The painful experiences of life have washed away the beauty of faith and trust.
I notice how many women live in solitude. They are loners with almost no friends.
Notice how Jesus spoke to the woman who had suffered from scoliosis (bent over) for 18 years. This woman had been through many things. She had been in bitterness and pain for a long time. This woman needed a miracle. Notice how Jesus addressed her in church.
Naturally speaking, daughters are not full of bitterness and unforgiveness. There is some sweetness and innocence that characterizes a daughter. Above all, there is a special trust and confidence that a daughter has for her father. Unfortunately, the faith, the hope and the love of daughters fade away as they mature into adult women.
Jesus did refer to some women as daughters. I believe it was because of the faith that they had in Him. He noticed the pure love that they had toward Him. …daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. Luke 23:28
Woman, may Jesus call you “daughter” because of your deep love for Him.
