Sermon Text: John 4:1-42
That our spirit will touch the Spirit of God in truthful ways
Jesus, we rejoice that You
speak to the deepest longings of our heart. You address us in the midst of our
confusion, our pain and suffering. You know the ways that we have been sinned
against and the ways that we have sinned. You know what we have lost and what
we have slim hopes of finding. You do not turn from us because we lack
religious credentials or live as social misfits, but You are willing to meet us
where we are: by a small town well, in a big city office, in our homes, on the
road, wherever we will allow You to get a word in edgewise, wherever we will
pause to take You seriously.
During such pauses, new life
begins to flow within us. During such pauses, You answer the unspoken yearning
of our hearts. During such pauses, You transform our inner and outer worlds.
During such pauses, You enable our spirit to touch the Spirit of God in
truthful ways.
We pause before You now.
Speak new life to us. Let that new life flow like refreshing water into the
lives of others. Amen.
