Listening and understanding is water for the soul

Morning: Psalm 37”1-18; Genesis 11:1-9; Hebrews 6:13-20

Evening: Psalms 37:19-42; John 4:1-15

Do you have someone who listens to you deeply? How does that feel? John Fox writes: <<When someone deeply listens to you it is like holding out a dented cup you’ve had since childhood and watching it fill up with cold, fresh water. When it balances on top of the brim, you are understood. When it overflows and touches your skin, You are loved.>> This is the ‘living water’ Jesus offers to the Samaritan woman. He hears and understands her. We too have this living water - listening, understanding and acceptance - for those whose souls are thirsty.
