Going into deeper waters requires giving up of some things. Like the fear of loss, that you are going to lose something of great value in your life. Like the fear of familiarity, that you are going somewhere so off-course you won’t be able to find your way back. Like the fear of losing control, because you cannot see precisely what is ahead.
But unless we let go of what we can see in front of us, and take that step of faith, we allow fear to dictate the course of our lives. We won’t see greater growth. We won’t see if we can pass tests of obedience to trust God to lead us to greater truths. We’ll be stuck attempting to figure out why our life has so little depth. If we want to experience greater depth, we need to venture into the uncomfortable, the unfamiliar, and even unfathomable mystery of Christ. Shallow truths keep us in shallow waters. To find deeper truths, immerseyour soul in the deep.
The woman at the well who met Jesus. She was a Samaritan. He was a Jew. She had faith in what she was raised in. Jesus offered faith greater than what she had worshipped before. She only wanted water to drink for the present time being. Jesus wanted to give her eternal living water that offers eternal life.
The Samaritan woman had to believe that what Jesus had to offer was a better deal. The Real Deal. She had to go into deeper waters. She had to give up the misconceptions that she clung to. Give up her earthly worship for a worship in Spirit and in Truth. She had to let go of a temporal thirst for an eternal one.
Her letting go into the unfathomable waters of Jesus so that the fathomable could be hers….forever. Her letting go would change her life.
And it can change yours.
Delve deeper. Trust Jesus to take you to the unfathomable heart of His father so you can find fathomable truth for life. Live for the Unfathomable Truth. Live the Real Truth.
