Scripture: “Jesus answered, ‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.’” — John 4:13-14

Jacob’s Well was a familiar place — a place where people came day after day to draw what they needed to survive. But when Jesus sat there that day, weary from His journey, everything ordinary about that well became holy.
A Samaritan woman came for water, but Jesus came for her heart. He saw her weariness, her shame, her search for love and meaning. He didn’t condemn her; He offered her living water — something she could never draw from the earth, only receive from Heaven.
Many of us stand at our own “wells” — places we return to hoping to feel satisfied: success, approval, relationships, beauty, or even busyness. Yet those wells always run dry. Jesus invites us, like the woman that day, to drink deeply of His grace and let His Spirit fill the empty places inside us.
When we meet Jesus at the well, He doesn’t just quench our thirst — He transforms us. He turns shame into testimony, emptiness into overflow. The woman who came to hide left as a messenger, running to tell her village, “Come see a man who told me everything I ever did!”
Today, Jesus still meets us at the well — right where we are, not where we pretend to be. And His invitation hasn’t changed: “Drink from Me, and you’ll never thirst again.”

Prayer:
“Jesus, thank You for meeting me at my well — the place where I am empty and in need. Fill me with Your living water. Wash away the old, refresh my spirit, and let Your love flow through me to others. Amen.”
