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 (John 4:14).
One day, Jesus was traveling with His disciples through the region of Samaria. Jesus was tired and sat by the side of a well to rest while His friends went into town to buy some food.

A woman comes along to get some water from the well.
Whoa! There's a Jew at my well! What's He doing here?
Now, He speaks to her.
Jews don't like Samaritans, so why is He talking to me?
He tells her about living water only He can give her so she'll never thirst again.
What's He saying? Never thirsty again? That would be nice.
Then, He tells her things about her life He could not have known unless... unless...
Oh! He IS the Messiah! I have to go and tell everybody!
She rushed to share this wonderful news with her neighbors. They came to see the Messiah for themselves and testified, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world (John 4:42).
Evangelism isn't as complicated as we sometimes try to make it. A good witness doesn't need a script. All we need to do is to tell others what we know - what Jesus has said to us and done for us, just like this woman did.
Have you heard Jesus for yourself? Has your thirst been quenched by living water? Do you have assurance of eternal life in Christ? Jesus said, "Go ye..."
Go... Tell what you know.

{Daily Selah} is a mini-devotional, a pause to ponder about the Lord and how He wants us to live.
