“But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

[John 4:14 NIV]

Devotional

Jesus spoke these words to a woman who was weary, ashamed, and searching for something she could not name. She came to the well for water, but Jesus offered her something far greater. He offered living water: His life, His presence, His Spirit. This was not a temporary refreshment or a momentary relief. It was a deep, soul-satisfying gift that would never run dry.

This promise reminds us that the deepest needs of the heart cannot be met by the things of this world. We try to quench our thirst with achievement, approval, comfort, or control, but these wells eventually empty. Jesus alone offers the kind of life that fills us from within. His presence becomes a continual source of peace, strength, and joy, flowing through every part of our lives.

When you feel spiritually dry, discouraged, or empty, remember this verse. Jesus is not offering a single drink. He is offering a spring. His Spirit within you is constantly renewing, refreshing, and restoring. You do not have to manufacture strength on your own. You do not have to chase fulfillment that fades. He gives you life that wells up into eternity.

Let this truth encourage you today. Jesus knows your thirst, and He alone can satisfy it fully and forever.

Reflection

Jesus is my living water. His presence fills my heart and renews my strength. In Him, I find a life that never runs dry.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, thank You for giving me living water. Refresh my heart today and fill me with Your Spirit. Help me rely on Your life within me and rest in Your unending grace.
