"I Have No Husband"

The woman said to Jesus, " Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water."

He told her, "Go call your husband and come back."

"I have no husband, she replied."

Jesus said to her, "You are right when you say you have no husband."

John 4:15-17 NIV

Let's face it, if you're a certain age and still unmarried in this country....Society tries to make you feel ashamed; as though there's something wrong with you. You're the reason you still don't have a husband.

God is not like that, though. Jesus was not trying to make the woman at the well feel ashamed.

He seeked only to make her "honestly" aware....Aware that she didn't have a husband, but what she had was a situation, a living situation that was costing her time and energy. He wanted her to open her eyes and see that legally she hadn't changed, her last name was still the same. Though over the years she probably had changed emotionally after living, voluntarily with a man who only gave her a complicated status and nothing more.

Beloved, There is living water available to you. That's what Jesus was offering the woman at the well...Water that will stop your thirst to be emotionally fulfilled. You see, most of the time for us, as women, it's not about the sex or even the wedding day, but deep down we just want to be emotionally fulfilled.

And the woman at the well was totally missing the revelation Jesus was trying to drop on her concerning this.

She wanted Jesus to give her the water he spoke of, so that she wouldn't get thirsty again and have to come there to draw water.

When in reality, she would get thirsty naturally again and have to come there and draw herself some water. But what Jesus and his living water would do for her soul (her mind, her will, and her emotions) is fill her up and stop her from coming there (to that man's door), thirsting for acceptance, thirsting for emotional fulfillment.

God says, Open wide your mouth and I will fill it. 

Why your mouth?  Because your mouth represents your hunger, your thirst, and your voice/identity all of which are areas where you need to be fulfilled. 

Psalm 81:10 NIV

Read: John 4:1-29 NIV

Until Next Sunday.
