The Woman at the Well

John 4:7-15
 (11) "Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep.  Where can you get this living water? 912) Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank form it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?" (13) Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, (14) but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst.  Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."(15) The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water."

I need a fresh taste of the living water, I don't need to go back to the well that draws me in but yet habit is so hard to break.  I took that big drink of living water.  God "lead [me] into the desert and [spoke] tenderly to [me]" Hosea 2:14  and it was a beautiful place; a place I want to stay!

Growing up is a funny kind of thing.  You learn where to draw the line and stand up for who you are.  And when that time comes to take that first very big step, its scary, intimidating, almost terrifying. Because - it means you're becoming an adult.  But I have a feeling that once that first big step is made, each tough step after may become a little less intimidating.  I don't mean there wont be horrifying ones, I mean, that you will know that you can.

"If God is for us, then WHO can be against us?" Romans 8:31

"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes us with groans that words cannot express." Romans 8:26
