Scripture:

“Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

John 4:13-14 (ESV)

Background:

In John 4, Jesus encounters a Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well. This meeting was unusual—Jews typically avoided Samaritans, and men rarely spoke to women publicly in that culture. Yet Jesus breaks these barriers to offer her the gift of living water—eternal life through Him. This moment reveals that Jesus seeks the outcast, knows our struggles, and offers us what truly satisfies: Himself.

Devotional:

We all have thirsts in life—longings for love, purpose, and fulfillment. The Samaritan woman had tried to quench her thirst in relationships, but she still felt empty. Jesus met her in her brokenness and offered her something far greater than physical water—the living water of salvation and a transformed life.

Like this woman, we often seek satisfaction in things that do not last—success, approval, material possessions—but they leave us dry. Jesus alone can quench our deepest thirst. When we receive His living water, we are refreshed, renewed, and filled with the overflowing presence of God.

No matter who you are or what you’ve done, Jesus invites you to come, drink deeply, and be satisfied.

Reflection:

1. What “wells” do you sometimes go to for satisfaction instead of Jesus?
2. How does knowing that Jesus sees and loves you completely change the way you relate to Him?
3. What does it mean for you to drink of the living water Jesus offers?
4. How can you share this life-giving truth with others?

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for seeing me, knowing me, and loving me completely. Forgive me for seeking satisfaction in things that do not last. Help me to drink deeply of Your living water and find my fulfillment in You alone. Let my life overflow with Your love so that others may also come to know You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Application:

• Spend time in prayer and Scripture daily, drawing from the well of God’s presence.
• Reflect on areas in your life where you seek fulfillment apart from Christ, and surrender them to Him.
• Share the love of Jesus with someone who is searching for hope, just as He did with the Samaritan woman.

Takeaway:

Only Jesus can truly satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts. Drink deeply of His living water, and you will never thirst again.
