  • Give Me A Drink

    Contributed by Samuel M on Aug 7, 2024
     | 663 views

    Jesus comes with his need to a broken person( in his brokenness), not to burden him, but to bless him and make him a blessing for others. Meeting Jesus’s need in your lack and brokenness creates an avenue for Jesus to bless you and become a blessing to many others.

    Jesus asks the samaritan woman for a cup of water. This is the greatest paradox in the Bible. Jesus never asked anything from anyone. He always gives but rarely asks for something from others. Jesus comes to the most broken person and expects something from her. The broken person has nothing(in ...read more
