“Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:” Jn 4:13

Jesus talking to the Samaritan women encouraged her to drink from the living water He offered to quench her thirst eternally.  Jesus was straight forward in telling her that any man drinking from the physical waters will thirst again.  Remember, Jesus himself was tired and weary as He approached the well as the disciples were in town gathering food.  Yet, in the midst of His own physical thirst Jesus was not going to miss an opportunity to reach out to the women with the only truth that would quench the soul.  Often this is a struggle for Christians in similar situations where they have grown weary and tired.  They are more concerned about their personal thirst and needs that they miss an opportunity to be a blessing of truth to others.  Jesus was not worried about a 700 year feud between Jews and Samaritans; He just wanted the women to know of the eternal life He had to offer her.  Don’t let your personal desire to quench a thirst, that will only come again, interfere with offering someone the greatest gift in life…eternal life in Jesus!  You will always have needs, like a thirst they will return; don’t let life distract you from those who thirst spiritually and don’t know how to quench it. 

In every weakness and desire in life lies an opportunity for God to strengthen you and quench you.
