“‘Please, sir,’ the woman said, ‘give me this water! Then I’ll never be thirsty again, and I won’t have to come here to get water.'” John 4:15, NLT<\/p>\n

The Samaritan woman was an outcast. Samaritans were despised by Jews, and women in that culture had a lower status than men. Because of her reputation, this Samaritan woman went to draw water alone. That’s where she met Jesus. Jesus knew everything about her, and he still wanted to talk to her! The Samaritan woman had been looking for love in all the wrong places; but Jesus showed her God’s love, and that was all she needed.<\/p>\n

Sometimes we look to everyone but God for love and acceptance, but God’s love is all we need.<\/p>\n

“Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said, ‘He told me everything I ever did!’\u00a0When they came out to see him, they begged him to stay in their village. So he stayed for two days,\u00a0long enough for many more to hear his message and believe.\u00a0Then they said to the woman, ‘Now we believe, not just because of what you told us, but because we have heard him ourselves. Now we know that he is indeed the Savior of the world.’\u201d John 4:39-42, NLT<\/p>\n
