John 4:7-10
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. 9 Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. 10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
Jesus turned a request from an outcast for a drink into an offer she could not wisely refuse - living water from God with her. He so offer us to drink as we try to serve in order to earn a dink, but He comes to us to offer when we don't expect it nor deserve it. It is freely offered.
