The discussion at the well between the woman and Jesus was no accident. He knew every detail about her life. The well was Jacob’s well, a historic landmark for the Hebrews, Jews, and Samaritans. Jesus’s illustration of living water had a huge impact on her life and to those she talked to. I wonder how many discussions in our lives are no accident. How many opportunities does God give us to weave our redemption story into the conversation, giving the other person an opportunity to be drawn into His live.
“Deeply formed mission is first about who we are becoming before what we are doing. Our most effective strategy in reaching a world for Christ is grounded in the kind of people we are being formed into. The quality of our presence is our mission.” - Rich Villodas, The Deeply Formed Life
“Many people are led to know Christ through the influence of another. In fact, it’s the effect of life upon life, the impact of one personality upon another, but our faith must stand on surer ground than another person. Let that one person’s influence take you to Christ, and then have your own story with Him.” - J Vernon McGee
