The woman at the well knew that being with six men was not socially acceptable, was against Jewish and Samaritan beliefs, and was not satisfying. The woman wanted satisfaction from her relationships, but when she didn’t feel satisfied by her old relationship, she went looking for a new one. She was looking for satisfaction in human relationships (well water) rather than satisfaction in her relationship with God (living water). She kept repeating her self-destructive pattern.

Then she met Jesus, who offered her satisfying “water”—living water, which only He can give.

I—and many other women and men—sought agape love and settled for eros love. I didn't know what I didn't know.

I didn't know just how satisfying God's agape love really is.
