The “woman at the well” or the story of the Samaritan Woman at the Well is a well known story where Jesus reveals Who He is to the woman, but there is a much deeper meaning than you might imagine to this encounter.

Drawing from the story of the Samaritan woman, I believe that God wants to use women to do great exploits in His Kingdom. But I’ve also realized that a lot of us women don’t believe this. We need to understand that God calls us first then qualifies us for His work. There are certain truths we need to hold onto about our calling:
Heavenly Father, thank you for the Samaritan woman’s story. Thank you that she is an example of someone who didn’t let her background, gender, ethnicity, people’s words, or spiritual qualifications affect her. I’m so glad that You use even those who are unqualified by human standards to show Your power through them. I know you’ve been calling me to...
