Living Water

The Samaritan woman came for water and left with something eternal: the living Spirit. Jesus meets our deepest thirst, healing and renewing the soul with his presence, a life that never runs dry for all.

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.

John 4:14

A Thirst We All Share

At the well, Jesus meets a woman thirsty for more than water. We too carry thirst — for love, meaning, forgiveness. These are not flaws, but signs of our need for God.

An Unexpected Encounter

Jesus approaches her gently, asking for a drink. He begins where she is — not with judgment, but with presence. God often meets us in our ordinary places.

The Gift Offered

He speaks of living water — a gift not drawn from a well, but poured from His heart. This water is His Spirit, His life in us. It heals, renews, and overflows.

Becoming a Fountain

The woman becomes a witness. Filled with joy, she runs to tell others. When we drink deeply of Christ, we too become sources of life for others.

Do Not Be Afraid

In life’s storms, Jesus may seem silent — but He is near. Like the disciples in the boat, we’re invited to call on Him in trust. He speaks peace into our chaos, calming not only the wind, but our hearts.
