"Jesus Christ answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of Him, and He would have given thee living water." --- John chapter 4 verse 10.
Jesus Christ asked this woman for a drink of water, but it was not water He was interested in. He wanted to give this woman eternal life.
God is the greatest giver there ever was and that would ever be. He lives to give. When He asks something of us we can be assured that it is only so He can multiply it and give it back to us.
God is not interested in the "water" or anything that we can give Him. We do not have anything to offer God that He does not already have. God wants us. And by asking us to give of our time and resources (money) or desires, He is really asking us to give ourselves.
Many a person has walked away from God sad, like the rich young ruler because all they could think about was what they would have to give up --- Mark chapter 10 verse 22. All of our achievements and possessions are nothing compared to what God offers us in exchange.
Just as Jesus Christ turned this woman's attention toward what He had to offer her, we need to focus our attention on what God has given us in Jesus Christ. He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to receive what he cannot lose.
May Jehovah God Almighty, add to us, His understanding and blessings for the reading, studying and trying to have full comprehension of His word.
