The Woman at The Well

I've been thinking a lot about her the last couple of days.  The Bible doesn't really say much about her.  We do know she had been married 5 times and was living with a man she wasn't married to.  I wonder how she got to where she was at that moment when she encountered Jesus.  Did she have loving parents or abusive parents or was her life hard.  At some point in her life something altered her to take her down the road she was on.  Trying to fill the well of her heart with things that only leaked out and left her empty.  She tried to find what she needed in men.  She was lonely and hurting and I wonder if at some point she thought "this is not how I envisioned my life be like".  How many of us are like the Samaritan woman looking in all the wrong places trying to satisfy a longing that only Jesus can fill?  Jesus offered her the living water that would leave her fulfilled in life.  No longer would she have to seek fulfillment in the love of men.  That same living water that Jesus offered her that day is still available today.  God comes in and He doesn't patch up our broken well but replaces it with a new one that doesn't leak and fills us with HIS living water.  It will refresh us and leave us content and fulfilled.  God is always on time and never misses a divine appointment.  Oh how He loves us!!
