Give Me a Drink

Here is just a little something from my journal the other day:

"He had to pass through Samaria. So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob's well waw there, Jesus, tired from his journey, sat down there at the well. It was about noon. A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, Give me a drink..." John 4:4-7

Lord, You asked the Samaritan woman to give you a drink from the well, and I felt as though You were saying, "Give me your life". Part of me is wondering, "What else? I have given You my life as best as I can." But then reading on, I realize that the cistern in the well is very deep just like myself, and there must be hidden things. Have I given You everything? I would like to think so. But reflecting further on, there is a good indication that there are still some parts of my heart I am not willing to give at certain times. Give me a drink, Lord, I need Your wisdom to discern what is Your plan in the situations I am involved in, because humbly I say that I am not the best in a lot of these ways.
Sometimes it is hard to know what is in the deep, but I know that You told the woman that true worship is in the Spirit. I want to thank You for making me feel weightless, letting me have a taste of that living water and resting in Your Spirit that you long everyone to drink. I need it more often.


-Let us continually ask for the living water Christ wants to give us, to sanctify us, and to call us more deeply in love with Him
