"Jesus told her, 'Go, call your husband and come back.' 'I have no husband,' she replied. - John 4:16-17
You've wanted to take off your mask. You've wanted to stop pretending. You've wondered what God would do if you opened your cobweb-covered door of secret sin. This woman must have wondered what Jesus, the increasingly famous rabbi, would do. She must have wondered if the kindness would cease when the truth was revealed. He will be angry... He will think I'm worthless...
Nope.
It wasn't perfection that Jesus was seeking, it was honesty.

I liken this to, "It is not sacrifice He wants, it is obedience." from Wm. Barclay
