To The Point Jesus

So one thought has captured my attention in studying the life of Jesus and his interactions with people. That is the simple fact that Jesus never made a trip without reason, and he knew why he was heading where he was. This does not mean he never went out of his way to help people. With the story of the Samaritan woman though that meets Jesus at the well it is the complete opposite. She was in the direct path of where Jesus was headed and he knew she would be there. He purposely crossed in the Samaritan land, a land the Jews purposely avoided, to meet this woman. So many times God takes a crooked way around to help us, but sometimes he runs straight at us and surprises us because we all have come to expect to have to wait for him. When this happens we realize that most people would've take the long way to avoid the help because it means shock, and sometimes causing pain, but God says I'm doing this with reason and regardless of what happens, I'm doing this because I love you. Jesus did not do anything just because, he did it for the reason to set an example for when he was to leave this world. Nothing Jesus did was pointless. Nothing he did is to be overlooked. Every prayer he prayed, every miracle he did, every conversation he had, had a point to it. God has a love language that no one will ever fully understand, but let's you know all you need to know about it. He has given you the opportunity to get the living water and drink of it for the exchange of you quenching his physical thirst for us to serve. God does not waste our time nor does he give us more than we need. He allows us to make our choices while giving us all the time we need to complete his will for us. He may wait to give us the answer we need but he will give it when needed. Sometimes that will be straight out in the moment you ask, even though that is extremely rare. The Samaritan woman believed in the Messiah and believe that her answers would come. Jesus managed to do that straight to her face, which very well might have been the single biggest blessing in her life. What might God do for you with an answer you need?
