When Jesus was thirsty

He was tired and thirsty.
Maybe this woman could give him some water.
Outrageous for him to degrade himself to even talk to this woman.
But in this need another need was met.
Thirst for respect and recognition.
He was tired and thirsty, she even more so.
There was a well.
An even better well than the one the woman knew about.
She was interested.
Maybe a good thing she didn't understand what she was asking for.
Maybe if she knew she would be too ashamed to ask for it.
But she got more than she bargained for.
She received Life.
Jesus was full of it.
Now she started to be filled up.
She couldn't contain it, like Jesus couldn't contain it.
It had to come out.
It was natural.
No pressure.
Not a means to relieve bad conscience.
Just life overflowing.
