Wow, did you notice in the reading today (John 4:27-45) that Jesus was shocking His disciples by "talking with a woman". Don't you love Him and His undeterred love.
And the wonderful things He says! In verse 34 He tells the disciples, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish His work." That seems to be true satisfaction. And the result of doing the Father's will is bringing in the ripe harvest that is all around us - "a crop for eternal life".
The wonderful thing is that even an adulterous outcast like this woman can have an amazing harvest; "Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, 'He told me everything I ever did'." And when this excited group asked the Lord of Lords to stay with them, He did so for two more days. The result -"And because of his words many more became believers."

Getting our satisfaction from doing and finishing God's will can have results better than we can ever dream of. Thank you Lord.
