The Words Stopped Me
Since we are having a wordy week...
The phrases “Jesus was aware”, “Jesus offered” and “accept the generous offer” stopped me in my tracks. I was reading the story in John 4 of the Samaritan woman who encountered Jesus at the well. Without her saying anything Jesus was aware of this woman's spiritual condition. He was aware of her current marital status and living situation. Like many of us, this woman was tying to fill herself up and quench a spiritual desire with worldly comforts. Jesus offered her the same Living Water he offers us which will never be depleted. When she accepted this offer she was changed, freed, and compelled to tell others of her joy.
So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?”...Many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, “He told me all that I ever did.” John 4:28-29; 39
When was the last time you were so excited about something God has done in your life you just had to tell someone about it?
Jesus is still aware of what we are doing and what we need. He is still here offering solutions, for He is our Offering. Everyday the ball is in our court waiting for us to accept what God planned long ago for us. What He planned that will bring him glory and us great joy.
