—John 4:13-18
by: Irene B. Saunders.
The Samaritan woman wanted the convenience of not having to draw and carry water day after day. Jesus offered something far greater-the Holy Spirit's quenching of her spiritual emptiness. Jesus knew her heart and revealed her past to her. She was telling only a half-truth when she said she was not married. Do we tell only half-truths also? Do we harbor prejudice and lie to ourselves about it? God knows our hearts and our needs.
