      Anonymous - Women's Bible Study Preview Book - Cindi Wood

      Introduction

      Have you ever felt anonymous—overlooked, unimportant, or bruised by the world? We all have at one time or another. But there’s good news. While the opinions of others may drag us down, the God who created us has an entirely different opinion of who we are. That’s because we are His creations, and everything He created is good. And to Him, each of us is a significant somebody!

      In this little book we will discover our uniqueness and significance to Christ by exploring the stories of four anonymous women of the Bible—women who were known and remembered not by their names but by their circumstances:

      The Woman Who Anointed Jesus – Judged

      The Woman with the Issue of Blood – Hurting

      The Woman at the Well – Ordinary

      The Woman Who Committed Adultery – Shame

      Though we do not know their names, all of these women were known and loved by God. And when each woman encountered Jesus, she was never the same again!

      As we consider the highlights of these women’s stories (stories I explore in depth in my Bible study by the same title, Anonymous: Discovering the Somebody You Are to God), we will discover powerful ways that we all can relate to and learn from their experiences. By digging into God’s Word, we will mine our way to uncover the jewels of God’s mercy and grace.

      Join me as together we find the joy that comes with knowing we are sweetly significant to Jesus!

      When You Feel Invisible

      Scripture: Psalm 139:16

      Anonymous. We all know what it feels like to be overlooked, rejected, or discounted. My friend, God longs to touch our hearts during those times when we think we are less than we really are.

      When you feel nobody knows your name or cares anything about you, remember this good news: you are known and loved by God!

      Feeling Anonymous

      God wants you to allow His great love for you to override negative circumstances and the negative opinions of others. In fact, He wants you to allow Him to eliminate any negativity that has weighed down your soul and clouded your vision of Him. It’s never His plan that you live a life chained to sadness over yesterday. It’s also not His plan that you live today defined by the faulty perceptions of others—especially the perception of being anonymous.

      Here’s a working definition:

      anonymous – lacking individuality, unique character, or distinction

      To get us thinking about the love that God has for us and our significance to Him, we will be exploring the stories of four nameless women from God’s Word. Although nameless to us, each of these real, anonymous women held a special place in the heart of God. Their stories are included in His Word to encourage us and empower us to live life in vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ.

      Meet the Women

      Throughout this book and the companion study, I refer to these anonymous women as our girlfriends and sisters. That’s because this is who they’ve become to me as I’ve investigated their lives and talked to our heavenly Father about them. I’ve considered their plights and how their circumstances could have undone them, but instead, by God’s mercy, they came face to face with Jesus.

      I’ve given these women names so that we might identify with them as real people. Each woman’s name gives a reference point of who she was when she met Jesus. First we’ll meet Judged in the house of the Pharisee. Then we’ll encounter Hurting near the shores of the Sea of Galilee. By
