John 4:7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water." 11 "Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?" 13 Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
As all of us in the Hill Country of Texas have learned, water that wells up can flood. That means it defines our actions and our attention for a period of time. Living water from God will do the same thing with our lives. It will define priorities, encourage trust and open the heart to the fullness of Our Father into time that does not need clocks. The water is available in the life, person and gift of Jesus who died and rose and lives today. There is no limit to the offering He brings and the life that His Holy Spirit can open to us as we drink the truth of His being. It is not JUST that he died and rose again, but that the effect of that gift continues daily for all of humanity as we in the Kingdom proclaim by love and living that it is here. Our lives are meant to flow with His presence even today. Are we bringing floods to our neighbors and beyond?
