Sukkot For The Woman at The Well

Powerless over others' opinions - of her.

She again found herself 

ostracized

rejected

dejected

alone…

While others celebrate the most joyous feast days together

Sukkot, the feast of Tabernacles, the time of the Messiah’s birth, the looking forward to His return when He will rule His Kingdom with an iron fist…with a balance of love.

She is alone…void of love…while others celebrate joyous…dancing, feasting, reveling…with one another…

She is the Woman at the Well…

Despised Samaritan…faces yet another commanded moadim alone…

Every season.

Every feast day.

She wonders and wonders,

Hopes

Prays

This time, it will be different.

This time, someone will take notice of her poverty and loneliness, love her, and accept her.

Give her a place at their table - at their camp - at their fire, like He commanded them to.

But again not this year not this time not this moadim not this feast

She, alone, will face another void of love and turn to her Savior.

Her Beloved.

Seek His face.

His love.

His acceptance.

As she, too, belongs to the King.
