"Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said,

streams of living water will flow from within him."

By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.

John 7:38-39

If we are believers in Jesus Christ we become a conduit for that living water.  It flows from deep within us by the Holy Spirit who resides in us.  That living water gushes out of us and onto those we come in contact with.

The Message version interprets part of John 7:38 with these words, "Rivers of living water will brim and spill out of the depths of anyone who believes in me this way, just as the Scripture says."

So, when was the last time your life, my life was a river of living water that was full to the brim with the joy, wonder and amazement of Almighty God, so much so that it gushed out all over those we are in contact with?

We need to open our eyes to the people around us like the Samaritan woman.  Oh, they're in different clothing today:  business suits rather than plainly draped cloth, painted smiles, spiked hair, perhaps some body piercings and extravagant tatoos.  Or maybe they're in very proper "church clothes" sitting right next to you on a Sunday morning, with a heart pierced more severely than any nose ring.

Please Jesus, open our eyes.  Let us be the one that says,

"If you knew the generosity of God, you would ask me, and I would take you to the Source of living water.  Then you would never thirst again -- by the power of the Holy Spirit, the grace of God and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ."
