Reread Sam’s story in John 4, asking Jesus to meet you there and show you things in your heart that need His repair. Is there part of my story or Sam’s story that you relate to most?
I can really relate to her ability to try to change the subject. I know that I often feel like I don’t have a right to ask so much of God, so I try to change the subject because I need to have Him near me and I need to talk to Him, but am afraid to ask too much…I don’t want to be any more of a burden to Him.
I also think that her incredulous nature of questioning everything He says, is very me. Maybe that’s just me putting myself in her place, but I feel like I know her tone of voice, her word emphasis; almost like I hear her talking when I read it.
J: Will you give me a drink?
S: (looking around to see who He’s talking to) How can you ask me for a drink?
I think maybe that’s why I have such a hard time saying no to people when they ask me for something; because I can’t believe they would find me worthy enough to even ask.
