Water Jar at the Well
By larry r Linville

Based on John 4:28

She came for water to the well
because she had a great thirst.
She came when no one else was there
so she could avoid being cursed.

While she was conversing with Jesus
another thirst was satisfied.
Her spiritual thirst was nurtured
just as her physical thirst died.

The water jar was left by the well
as she fled to tell the good news
of this special man she had met
who gave her some life changing views.

That jar is more than a symbol
of the new life we have to live.
It speaks of our spiritual needs
that the Living Water can give.
