I Am That Woman

Needy
Vulnerable
Hungry
Thirsty
Weak
Ashamed
Blamed

I Am That Woman… in the desert having been chased away by someone who used me. 
I Am That Woman… orphaned, given to a man I didn’t choose. 
I Am That Woman… praying night and day for a desire to be fulfilled. 
I Am That Woman… passed by for someone more beautiful. 
I Am That Woman… left empty in the bitterness of bereavement. 
I Am That Woman… not knowing where my next meal is coming from. 
I Am That Woman… bound by my past and present sins. 
I Am That Woman… drawing from wells that will never satisfy my thirst. 
I Am That Woman… criticized for wasting my dowry.
I Am That Woman… spending all my money on physicians who can’t heal me. 
I Am That Woman… from a foreign land whose family member needs help. 
I Am That Woman… caught in the depravity of my sin and shame.
I Am That Woman… whose loved one has died.


I Am That Woman… found in the desert by the God Who Sees Me.
I Am That Woman… called and empowered by God to save my people from obliteration.
I Am That Woman… whose fervent prayers are answered.
I Am That Woman… shown compassion by God and blessed with sons; one being the ancestor of Jesus.
I Am That Woman… given a son by my daughter-in-law to carry on the family name.
I Am That Woman… provided for by God.
I Am That Woman… delivered by Jesus of my bondages and the first to see the risen Lord.
I Am That Woman… having encountered the Living Water running to tell friends and family what He has done for me.
I Am That Woman… pouring spikenard oil over the head of Jesus hearing Him rebuke those who judged me, saying that the world will know what I did for Him.
I Am That Woman… reaching out in faith to touch the hem of the Messiah’s robe and is healed.
I Am That Woman… crying out to the Son of David to have mercy on me hearing Him say that my faith is great and my desire is granted.
I Am That Woman… standing helpless and hopeless before my accusers and I hear Jesus say, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
I Am That Woman… putting my faith in the Resurrection and the Life. And though I will die, I will live for eternity with Him.
I Am That Woman… whose deepest needs have been met by my Jesus, Yeshua, Ishi, my heavenly Husband.
