Personalizing the Samaritan Woman

“If you only knew the gift God has for you… you would ask me, and I would give you living water.” (John 4:10-14)

Do you want your life to look to the bright side?
Jesus was speaking to a woman who had five husbands and now lived unmarried with another. Jesus said God has a gift “for you”. He asks the same question to every one of us at some point and he’ll ask it again and again until you hear Him.

All you need to do is ask “Lord give me your Spirit” and then accept the gift that He offers: He gives the Spirit – which He referred to as living water. He used the symbol of water because she was fetching water in the heat of the day at the well where he met her.

Jesus also emphasized that the blessing being offered was spiritual with the promise of joy beginning here on earth and further a heavenly eternal life. Jesus said: “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life”.

Just ask Jesus for His gift of eternal life.
It’s not about our worthiness or how good you are. Jesus is in the business of turning us around to notice God is presently calling each one, calling me and calling you closer. He speaks gently in our conscience.

“If you only knew the gift God has for you… you would ask me.”

He offers a life of joy and peaceful assurance more significant than you’ve ever imagined. Yes, Jesus is calling You.
