Water, what a powerful gift from God. Vast oceans are teaming with amazing life, rivers flow creating powerful energy, and a cup of water quenches our thirst. As powerful and essential as that water is, it cannot sustain your life forever. The women who collected the water from the well for her family and their livestock understood how hard it was to gather the water daily. When Jesus told her that the water He gives is so powerful that she would never thirst again, she wanted to hear more about this living water. He was, of course, referring to Himself as that essential water that brings eternal life. He also said the river of living water will flow out of our hearts, which means that we also have the power to share the living water of eternal life with others. Don't keep the river that flows through you a secret, share the life it brings with others so they may also have a spring welling up from within them.

Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:13-14. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'" John 7:38
