"The woman then left her waterpot..."

"The woman then left her waterpot,
and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
"Come, see a man, which told me
all things that ever I did.  Is not this the Christ?"
- John

You are not the first I have
told
your wives,
your daughters,
your sisters, and mothers...
they too have
heard of this man who
sees through to
a woman's heart
and they have left
their waterpots
by the well,
they are thirsty too...

we are all parched and
thirsty for that
living water
for what will bring to
life the hope
that sits untended
and
domant in our hearts...

to be known...

we want to be known
to be seen as
women of
substance, girls with
promise,
mothers and daughters
who make a
difference...even if the
difference is only
to be asked
to stand with our
truth,
and  take ownership of
our lives...our
mistakes and
accomplishments,
our choices and decisions...
to be asked a question
and to know that
how we answer
matters...

that our redemption,
is as important as
yours,
that our repentance
is worthy of
His mercy....to be
offered
living waters...

yes, they have
left their
waterpots for
something more...
they are
seeking,
not to be owned
or kept or
given with a dowry...but
to be known...really known...
without judgment...

and still
loved...

is not this
the Christ?
