John 4:13-14
This real life story about a woman who came to the town's well for water and she meets Jesus...face to face. This woman has had five husbands in her life and was with a different man at the time. Jesus, knowing all things, let her know He was aware of her history. The "story" in the story.....she was seeking happiness in the world. She was trying to find happiness through relationships in men...unsuccessful with one, she moved to the next. Sadly she was still searching and coming up dry.
Maybe you are searching for happiness in a certain person or thing. Your confidence in something "worldly" will be challenged over time as people and things will let you down. There is very little satisfaction in the things and people of the world today.
Jesus told this woman that whoever puts their trust and confidence in Him will never thirst, will never feel at a loss or shortchanged. He will always be with you and sustain you. He is more dependable than anything in the world. How do you make Him more "real" and experience His presence in your life you ask? Pray to God freqently, read your bible and use a devotional to help guide you through His word. Then, seek Him in every aspect of your life. Once you do that, your awarness of everything He touches will be known to you. Keep the focus on Him and not the ways, things or people of the world....you will see Him and experience His love for you.
We read in John 19:28: After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said "I thirst". As Jesus was breathing his last breaths on the cross, he stated He was thirsty. Jesus bore the sins of mankind....they left Him thirsty. Friend, this world will leave you thirsty and always seeking more. Seek after Him and He will meet your every need in life. God bless!
