Source of our Wellspring

Jesus is our Source of Living Water – Our Wellspring of Life
John 7:38
He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
Jesus said that whoever believes in Him will have living water flow out of his heart. We have an unending source of His love, mercy, grace and everything we need to live a happy life.

John 4:10
Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
In this passage, Jesus approached a woman in Samaria and asked her to draw him a drink from the well. Then he offered her a drink of "living water." He told her whoever takes a drink of the water that I give him will never be thirsty again. Jesus is our unending source of living water--our wellspring of life. You can come to Him just as you are! Don't be hesitant to come because of your mistakes and sins. He will love you just like you are and wash you clean with His living water that will fill your soul with peace. 

In Bible days, the Jews did not associate with Samaritans.The Samaritan woman was astonished that Jesus, being a Jew, even approached her. Jesus will receive you with open arms, no matter who you are or what you have done. She was living with a man that was not her husband and had been married five times previously. This did not surprise Jesus. He was aware of her lifestyle and offered her a new life.  Come to Jesus today and let Him give you the Living Water!
Jeremiah 17:13
LORD, you are the hope of Israel; all who forsake you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust because they have forsaken the LORD, the spring of living water.
In Jeremiah, we see that the only way to cut off that wellspring of living water in your life is to "forsake" the Lord.  It is your choice.  Choose life today!
