Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day is a gift to you and me, so let’s cherish it.
The Wells That Never Satisfy
Our lives are full of wells that never satisfy. We keep going back to them because we remain thirsty. Some of us even built our own wells—things we believed would last and secure our happiness—only for time to prove us wrong.
As long as everything in this world is temporary, it will never fully fulfill us. It may feel like it does for a moment, but sooner or later, we return to that same well, thirsty again.
That is why the story of Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman is so powerful. Jesus told her that He has something that stands the test of time—and even eternity. No wonder she was interested. I would have been too.
John 4:13-14 (ESV): Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
Meeting Jesus Without Pretending
One of the beautiful things about Jesus is that He meets us in ordinary places with extraordinary grace. We don’t have to put on “makeup”—we don’t have to pretend we have it all together.
Imagine if the Samaritan woman had tried to hire a husband after Jesus told her to go call her husband. She might have missed the revelation that she was speaking to a prophet. In the same way today, many of us try to put on an image before Jesus instead of coming honestly.
Paul reminds us to put off what is false and to put on Christ. True transformation begins when we stop pretending and start surrendering.
The Only One Who Truly Fills
Who wouldn’t want a spring of water welling up to eternal life within them? And if that water reaches into eternity, imagine what it does for your life right now.
Jesus is not just a source of temporary relief—He is the One who truly fills us.
Takeaway
What “well” do you keep going back to for fulfillment?
Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name. Amen!
