Thank God for the Word of God from John today! It lifted me up.
He spoke about how the woman had 5 husbands which showed that she tried getting satisfied but failed! Also, Jesus is the living water!
Some more insight that I have received through God's Spirit on this chapter is from verses 10 and 11.
v10- .."If you know the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give me a drink', you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
The well is deep. You cannot fill it up by gorging on your own. You have no strength at all.
I've learnt this over and over again that I am radically dependent on Jesus for the living water which is the Holy Spirit(John 7:37,38)!!!
And How do you get that living water which fills up that deep well? All you have to do is ask? My! It's that easy! And that's all I have to do! Just ask! Oh the complexity, yet simplicity of God's goodness! Oh the simpleness of this truth!
Even right now, inspired and convicted by what was spoken today, I really couldn't feel God's presence. I mean, those times where you try and nothing happens. God then reminded me that I should be radically dependent on His strength, His grace and His sufficiency and not on my ability. To the degree I am dependent on Him, that much I am strengthened by Him.
Oh! This simple truth :)
Meanwhile, I'm wearing this T-shirt and the words printed on it really disturb me lol :
