“The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, Come see a man which told me all that I ever did: is not this the Christ” (John 4:28-29).
Today and the next two days we will examine the phrase, “forsaking all others.” This is one commonly found in traditional wedding vows. Think back to the time before you married. You probably fell in and out of love many times before Mr. Right came along. When God blesses you with a soul mate, don’t look back. You forsake the “old” and are thankful for the man He gave you.
When you commit your life to Christ, forsake or leave the past behind. When the woman at the well met Jesus, her life was in a shambles. When she received “living water”, she left her waterpot to go and tell others of her encounter with Christ.
Is there a “waterpot” you are holding on to that may be keeping you from being a good wife or a dedicated child of God? Leave it at the well of grace.
