Day Twelve: Living Water

The story of the Samaritan woman at the well is one of my favourites because it reveals so much about who Jesus is. In this passage He refers to Himself as Living Water. What Jesus spoke figuratively, this woman took literally until He explains further. Just as our physical body needs water to survive so does our spirit. He is refreshing to the soul just like a cold glass of water on a hot day. The only thing that can truly quench the thirst of the spirit is the living water, Jesus Christ.

"Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." She said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; where then do You get that living water? You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?" Jesus answered and said to her, 'Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.'" - John 4:10-14

Dear Jesus,
Thank You for being the refreshment to my soul and for being the only One who can truly satisfy my spirit. When I try to find satisfaction in other things remind me that You are the only One that will fill that void. Thank You Jesus for giving me what I need and loving me so much. Amen.
