Living Water for a Thirsty Soul

The story in John 4 illustrates the Samaritan women at the well who Jesus talks with about her life and offers her the gift of living water.  The wells of the world are deep but will only quench our thirst for a moment versus the Living Water that Christ offers which will satisfy our thirst for eternity.  What does being satisfied in life look like?  According to author Daniel Kahneman from his book " Thinking Fast & Slow", there are five aspects in finding satisfaction in life; 

1. Having friends and sense of community
2. Having goals for yourself
3. Being part of a "story"
4. Having a sense of meaning
5. Feeling as if we are "growing"

But true satisfaction comes from our love for and trust in our Savior, who died that we may live.  During this season of Lent, it is important that we not hide our pain, but ask God for forgiveness through repentance of our sins.  The Living Water offers comfort and the forgiveness we so desperately need.
