John 4:39-42 says, "Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, 'He told me everything I ever did.'  So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days.  And because of his words many more became believers.  They said to the woman, 'We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.'"

I imagine for two days, the Samaritans in that town of Sychar experienced heaven on earth.  Jesus touched the heart of the woman at the well and through her testimony many came to Jesus.  Jesus must have spoken the same way to them because they said they have "heard for themselves."  They heard so much from Jesus they understood His true mission - to save the world.  He would save not just the Jews but the Samaritans and many others also.

This unexpected town of undervalued and underappreciated people now had great value and felt undeniably appreciated because they spent time with the Savior.  Father in Heaven, who can I show value and appreciation to today for Your kingdom's sake?  I want to be about Your awesome work today and every day.
