What does suffering do? Or rather, what does it reveal? …what you actually believe. Powerful word from Pastor Los from .sd this weekend on Praying in the Spirit.

Whatever you worship will eventually leave you thirsty.

If you worship career, platform, influence, or success… there’s never enough. More money. More followers. More recognition. More validation.

If you worship identity, sexuality, or self… you’ll keep searching for a version of yourself that finally feels complete. Your desires shift. Your preferences change. Your feelings fluctuate. And eventually, you realize you can’t carry the weight of being your own savior.

If you worship sports, hobbies, comfort, entertainment, or leisure… your joy rises and falls with circumstances. You’re always chasing the next win. The next trip. The next distraction. The next feeling.

But Jesus says in John 4: “Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.”

Because the deepest thirst of the human soul was never meant to be satisfied by fame, pleasure, identity, or achievement. Only by Him.

The woman at the well kept coming back thirsty. And honestly? So do we. Until we discover there’s a well that never runs dry.

Jesus doesn’t expose sin to punish. He exposes sin to heal.

In John 4, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well — a woman carrying shame, rejection, and a story she probably hoped nobody would bring up.

But Jesus does. He tells her, “You’ve had five husbands… and the man you’re with now is not your husband.”

Not to embarrass her. Not to condemn her. But to show her: “I see all of you… and I’m still here.”

And in the very same conversation, Jesus invites her into true worship. Worship in spirit and truth.

Because healing begins the moment we stop hiding.

The beautiful thing about Jesus is that He already knows — and still offers living water.
