(Just joined us for the series? Start with Day 1.<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n This song came out of nowhere. Most songs take hours\/days\/months for me to finish. This one seemed to drop from the heart of heaven. I\u2019m singing to God in this song, but every time I sing it, it\u2019s like He\u2019s singing it over me. What a faithful friend He is. It\u2019s so important for us to remember what He has brought us through and to let it propel us to trust him.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a powerful story in John 4<\/a> where it says that Jesus \u201chad to go through Samaria.\u201d What\u2019s interesting about this phrase is that it doesn\u2019t make geographical sense. Samaria is actually out of the way. It also doesn\u2019t make sense socially, since Jews didn\u2019t associate with Samaritans. Yet Jesus would not be deterred from going to this town. It was there that He met a woman coming out to draw water in the middle of the day. When Jesus encountered her, the conversation moved from Jesus needing a drink of water to Jesus pointing to Himself as what she was truly thirsting for. \u201cEveryone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life\u201d (John 4:13-14<\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The story continues, telling us that this woman had been in multiple relationships, which may be why she was drawing water in the heat of the day. In that culture, only men had the legal right to divorce, which means we can only imagine the pain, objectification, and abuse she could have gone through. But then she met Jesus. Not only did she change, but the whole town changed. I love this story because it shows how Jesus cares about \u201cthe one.\u201d The outcast. The unworthy. He cares about us, and He is a King who takes detours to meet us right where we are at\u2014and to show us He is what we have been thirsting for all along. The reality is, no matter how sincerely we could ever sing, \u201cIt\u2019s always been You,\u201d He will always be the one singing it louder back over us.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are a few questions to wrestle with:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. What areas in your life have you hid from God or others where Jesus wants to meet you with His living water?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Once you have experienced the profound nature of His love, who can you tell?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. How can you worship with a renewed sense of thankfulness for the redemptive action of God\u2019s grace in your life?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The woman at the well was unworthy of Jesus’ love, but He gave it to her anyway. God’s love isn’t about what we’ve done to earn it. It’s about who He is. And when we choose to love Him, the beauty is that He returns that love infinitely more, beyond all imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not a reader?
