THE SAMARITAN WOMAN AT THE WELL The third Biblical example of God using “imperfect people” who were perfect for His perfect plans is the Samaritan Woman at the Well. The Samaritan Woman at the Well was imperfect by human standards for God’s perfect plan of evangelizing to the people of her city, Sychar, because when Jesus asked her to bring her husband, she replied, “I do not have a husband.” (John 4:17) She said this because she was living with a man she was not married to after living with five other men. But, despite her personal issues, God was still able to use her with her imperfections to tell her people about Jesus because Many Samaritans in that city believed in Jesus because of the word of that woman because she testified and said, “He told me all the things I ever did.” (John 4:39) Therefore, if you have made many public and private mistakes in your personal and professional life, do not write yourself off because God has not written you off. Even if you have made many public and private mistakes in your personal and professional lives, God has not written you off. Be honest with Him like this Samaritan Woman who was honest with Jesus by telling Him the true state of the affairs of her life and then be open to His leading and direction.
