But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst.

At the well
Around midday Jesus sat, tired, by a well in Samaria. A woman came to draw water. Jews and Samaritans had nothing to do with each other. Even the disciples were later surprised that he was talking with a woman.
Still, Jesus starts a conversation. One of the longest conversations with a single person in the Gospels. He asks for water and offers water that keeps flowing. He saw what she was really looking for.
Question for today
Where am I thirsty, and trying to quench it with ordinary water?
Prayer
Lord Jesus, you grew tired and thirsty, just like me. You know my deeper thirst too. Give me your water, the kind that keeps flowing. Amen.
