Today we’re in John 4, the story of the Samaritan woman at the well. She comes in the middle of the day, avoiding people, hiding in shame. Yet right there, in her hiddenness, Jesus meets her.

What’s amazing is what happens after that encounter. She goes back into town and tells everyone, “Come meet a man who knew everything about me.” And because of her story, others wanted to meet Jesus too.

As we continue in prayer and fasting, take a moment today to remember your own encounter with Jesus. Remember who He was when you first met Him. Remember how He changed your life. Let the goodness of God feel fresh again.

And then don’t be ashamed to tell your story. Wherever you are, God gives you opportunities to share what He’s done. Let’s see what happens when we allow God to use our stories to reveal His goodness and faithfulness.

Love you, church.
