Save

Ever since her encounter with Jesus, the story of "The woman at the well" has been passed on from one to another. It's an amazing story! She was a Samaritan; the Jews avoided all Samaritans. But not Jesus! He sought her out, asked her penetrating questions and answered her questions to Him. He exposed her sinfulness to the light, and totally captivated her with His offer of Living Water to forever quench her spiritual thirst!
WATER OF LIFE Enduring heat of midday sun beneath the cloudless sky -- alone. An outcast such as I trudged on when other women had long since their water drawn, for they'd malign with stinging barbs were we to meet at dawn. I saw a man, alone as I; I'd fill my jars and go my way. But then he asked for water and I knew I had to stay. His voice was kind and gentle, His compassion stirred my soul. When He spoke of living water, I yearned to be made whole. He knew my sin, and still He spoke; He offered life to me. I saw the truth -- HE IS the LIFE -- and now, praise God, I'm free! I think the story is found in John chapter 4 in the bible. I can't see well enough to look it up tonight. My glasses are elsewhere. You just have to read it! Connie Faust

Beautiful title to this poem. Lifegiving is water and God gave her a new life to lead. She was washed clean and purified. By God she was sent away with a new heart and knew her savior. He does provide what we need whever we need.
