Grace

When Messiah offered living water to the woman at the well, he was obviously speaking metaphorically. The woman was not going to receive an endless supply of H2O. I've come to understand this living water to be a metaphor for grace . . . and according to John 4:14, this supply of living water is without end, everlasting. But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. Wouldn't that indicate that once we receive grace, it should be springing forth within us, and demonstrated in our life? The grace of our Heavenly Father upon us and within us, should cause we, His children, to be gracious!
