Ladies, what if I told you you could change your life by changing what you believe?
Would you say, “That’s impossible. I’m a woman held captive by other people’s opinions of me and the limitations they put on me. I’m stuck until they change their minds.”

That’s until a certain Man met her at the well, at the same time she sought to be alone. He wasn’t from around there, but speaking the truth in love, He made it clear He knew everything about her.

How Truth Changed Her Life
She ran back to those same people who thought they had her pegged and boldly told them about this God-man, Jesus. Hearing what she believed about Him and seeing the impact of what she believed about herself made them reconsider her.
The whole town look beyond her past, listened to her testimony, and many followed Jesus.
