"Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw."
John 4:13-15
I really like the banter between Christ and the Samatitan woman at the well. It starts out normal, but develops into the most important conversation of her life. I really don't know if she was starting to believe yet here, but she was at least engaged enough to follow his lead and to admit desire for what he promised, and then when she realizes that he is a prophet, and then guesses, and has confirmed, that he is the Christ, she likely understands even more of the symbolism of the earlier conversation.
Today, let's also follow Christ's lead and desire the living water that he promises us. Let's work on drawing so close to God that we don't have to keep refilling our empty spiritual reservoirs, but instead we have a constant source of spiritual strength and power.
