John 4:15
Please sir, The woman said, give me this water? Then I’ll never be thirsty again, and I won’t have to come here to get water.

Interesting how when the woman asked Jesus to quench her thirst, Jesus brought up her men or husband problems. He basically introduced her to her thirst quenchers. He wanted her to know that she had been looking for love in all the wrong places. She had been looking for something in those men, that they never meant to be for her. She chased but couldn’t catch. She searched but couldn’t find. (Just like Gomer) Her problem wasn’t the fact that she was thirsty. Her problem was where she was trying to quench her thirst. She had a legitimate need but was meeting it illegitimately. Jesus had to expose her to herself because He wasn’t about to volunteer Himself to be Hosea at the house waiting on His harlot to come home. Jesus said, it’s just some things I flat out refuse to share.

Jesus is basically about to let her know that He was what she was trying to find in all those men. He was her life giver. He was her sustainer. He was her provider. He was her worth. He was her beauty. He was her value. He was her true love.

Matthew 5:6
Blessed is the man that thirst and hunger after righteousness.

Just think if we have more of a thirst for righteousness than we had for men, our desire for a husband and companionship couldn’t become our demons. Your desires can become your demons when they’re out of order.

Jesus said, Before I give you My water, you need to stop drinking over there. But I understand that in order for you to stop drinking over there, you have to realize that you had been drinking over there in the 1st place. Furthermore, I need to you recognize and understand that their water can’t do for you what Mine can do for you. You drink My water, you’ll never thirst again. But if you keep drinking their’s, you’ll stay thirsty.
