If You Knew

John 4:14a Jesus said, “Whoever drinks of the water
that I shall give him (you) will never thirst.” nkjv

Story of Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well are
found in the chapter four of John. Jesus asked her for
a drink of water. The Samaritan woman was surprised that
He as a Jew was not afraid to talk to a mix race person
like her. From John 4:10, Jesus said to her, “If you knew
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.”

Somehow the words from Jesus touched me: “If you knew who
I am, you would have asked Me and I would have given you
the living water.”

Prayer: Oh, Jesus I pray that if only we know who You are,
the Bread of Life and the Living Water because You are the
only One that satisfies our spiritual hunger and fills our
thirsty souls in Your precious name, Jesus!

Dorothy: In the early morning, I struggled with this devotion
and put it on hold and gave it a time to think it through. I
helped Tony with kitchen packing in boxes so the Pest Control
man would come and spray the bugs. I sat down to rest and read
again and I saw something else that impressed me, Jesus said,
"If you knew." He means we can find the answer to our problems
"if you knew what Jesus can do for you."

Song: Springs of Living Water
Drinking at the springs of living water,
Happy now am I, My soul they satisfy;
Drinking at the springs of living water,
O, wonderful and bountiful supply.
