John 4:7-12

"7When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?" 8(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])

10Jesus 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."

11"Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?""


Sounds like us sometimes doesn't it?

We don't even have a clue what we're talking about when we talk to God.


What I got from this scripture when I read it today:

"Shut up and listen."

Well, God, I thought I have been? What is it that you want to tell me? Teach me the proper way to listen.
