This last week I went to the last day of a two day bible study titled
"Falling in Love with Jesus-Again and Again. The Perfect God. The perfect Man"
It was a great study. Over two weeks we looked at Jesus and how He can heal you, meet your every need, always watch over you, Never reject you, won't condemn you, will forgive you, won't leave you and how He loves you best...just to name a few days of the study. One of our days we spent in the book of John chapter 8 verses 1-11.
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a women caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this women was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" 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. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her". Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the women still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?". "No one sir, " she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."
John 8:1-11 NIV
( In Greek what the women said was "No one Lord".)
While we were going over this portion of the study as a group our wonderful speaker, Kara Miller, played a song. It just embodies what this women might have been feeling standing there in front of Jesus all her sin exposed. (Though He knows all our sin even before we bring it to him.)

I Need You to Love Me
( I believe the artist is BarlowGirl)
( I believe the artist is BarlowGirl)
Why, why are You still here with me
Didn't you see what I've done?
In my shame I want to run and hide
But it's here I see the truth
I don't deserve You
Chorus
But I need You to love me, and I
I won't keep my heart from you this time
And I'll stop this pretending that I can
Somehow deserve what I already have
I need you to love me
I, I have wasted so much time
Pushing You away from me
I just never saw how You could cherish me
'cause You're a God who has all things
And you still want me
(Chorus)
Your love makes me forget what I have been
Your love makes me see who I really am
Your love makes me forget what I have been
I need you to love me.
The greatest thing is...He Does Love Us.
