"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 4:13, 14)
Endless searching, endless need: This is humanity.
The woman here was in such a case, until, that is, she met Jesus. You know the rest of the story. Many in the town, because she drank from, "....the water that I will give..," surrendered their lives to Jesus.
This, "....water that I will give..," viz., Jesus' very presence in us, is our continual drink. We don't have to wait for some special manifestation of His "presence," some great meeting. Jesus Christ Himself is our Ever-Present, "....spring of water welling up to eternal life."
Father, in Jesus' Name, thank You so much for bringing me to the Perpetual Fountain. Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
