28 So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” 30 They went out of the town and were coming to him… 39 Many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me all that I ever did.”
John 4:28-30; 39
Never satisfied. Always wanting more. The next project, the new couch, more money. Maybe we’re ashamed of our shortcomings, our past – we feel alone and judged.
Many of us live like the Samaritan woman. We go about our daily routines and draw familiarity and comfort from our own little wells. At work, at home, and at church, we dip into our wells wherever we go. No perfect diet, the fairy tale relationship, or getting to your goal weight will ever truly satisfy. Only Jesus
Jesus, the Savior of the world, asks an outcast to help him. And like her, we can know the reality that in God’s eyes, no one is too far gone. He has a purpose for us. He knows us intimately and he is waiting for us to spend time with Him.
The question is, are we ready to spend time in conversation with him?
