~John 4~

The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?” 

(RACISM. It can be so engraved in us that we use it against ourselves. When God includes you in a group... His group.... Don't exclude yourself.) 

Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.” 

(Do we even know the gift God has for us?... Yes, we may submit to Christ as Lord, but we often forget and are ignorant to the fullness of His being... When we think and try to rationalize the gift of God, we put it in a box... Not because we want to, but because He's infinite and we're not)

“But sir, you don’t have a rope or a bucket,” she said, “and this well is very deep. Where would you get this living water? 

(In a box...)

And besides, do you think you’re greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this well? How can you offer better water than he and his sons and his animals enjoyed?” 

(And besides, do you think you're greater than: 

My job, who gives me a paycheck...

My parents/mentors who taught me what I know...

My intellect, that got me a degree

My boyfriend/girlfriend who is always there for me... ??

Yes. God is greater than all the above. In fact, the name Jesus is above every name.)

(John 4:9-12 NLT)
