Don't you love the reading today (John 4:7-26), where Jesus in one conversation turns around the life of the "woman at the well". One part that I like is where Jesus says that He would have given her living water if she had asked.
So what is living water? He says it is the kind that satisfies so that you don't thirst again. Later in John 7:38-39 it becomes even clearer as Jesus says, " 'Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.' By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive."

But the verse that is so exciting is in Revelation 7:17.
"For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;
he will lead them to springs of living water."
"For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;
he will lead them to springs of living water."
In the Greek these springs are gushing fountains or jumping water. Can you imagine having rivers of this excited jumping Spirit filled water flowing from you to others? That is bound to be good new
