Recently, I was reflecting on my journey with my Lord, and a story in the Bible came to mind; the story of the Samaritan woman in John chapter 4. She did not have a name, but her story applies to all of us searching for love and significance<\/span><\/em>. Here are a few highlights of her story.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Jesus Came Into Her World <\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n It took her by surprise when Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well during the hottest part of the day. He was a Jew talking to her, and He knew everything about her but never condemned her. She experienced love, acceptance, and grace like she never had before. She was so excited that she dropped her cistern or water pot to tell everyone in the city, \u201cCome see a man who knows all about me. Surely, He is the Messiah of God.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>I know the Samaritan woman personally. I did not marry five times, but like her, the cup of my soul was empty. Even as a follower of Christ, I went from thing to thing, trying to find fulfillment for my soul.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n A Discontented Soul<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Have you ever asked the Lord, is my soul contented in You? Jesus told the Samaritan woman, \u201cWhen you drink from My life, you will never <\/u>thirst again!\u201d I remember what it felt like to be discontented. I was always searching for the next best thing. I went from:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The list went on and on, and I never found fulfillment or rest for my weary soul. Here is a song that depicts my old relationship with God.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Fill My Cup, Lord by Jessy Dixon<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Like the woman at the well \u00a0<\/p>\n Fill my cup, Lord \u00a0<\/p>\n There are millions in this world. \u00a0<\/p>\n Fill my cup, Lord \u00a0<\/p>\n Source:\u00a0Musixmatch,\u00a0Songwriters:<\/em> Richard Blanchard Fill My Cup, Lord lyrics \u00a9 Word Music, LLC.<\/em><\/p>\n My Search Ended<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n My search ended when the voice of my Lord from within my spirit<\/em> showed me He was the one to satisfy my longing soul. All my soul wanted and needed lived inside me<\/em>. I needed to stop looking without and look within <\/em>where He, the Living Water, abides.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/hispreciousgift.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/woman-at-the-well-2.jpg\")

I was seeking
For things that could not satisfy
And then I heard my Savior speaking
\u201cDraw from My well that never shall run dry.\u201d<\/p>\n
I lift it up, Lord
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul
Bread of Heaven, feed me \u2019til I want no more
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole.<\/p>\n
Who are craving
The pleasures, earthly things of gold
But none can match the wondrous treasure
That I find in Jesus Christ, my Lord.<\/p>\n
I lift it up, Lord
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul
Bread of Heaven, feed me \u2019til I want no more
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole
Here\u2019s my cup, fill it up and make me whole.<\/p>\n
