John 4:6b-7, continued

Another thought regarding the women in this Samaritan town - did any of them reach out to befriend this woman? 

This is something I struggle with, as I am very introverted.  It takes a lot for me to attempt small talk (which I'm not good at), and even more for me to try and develop that muddled small talk into something resembling friendship.  As a result, I tend to be stand-offish, which appears judgmental rather than introverted. 

The Bible says, though, that we are to be kind (Ephesians 4:32), hospitable (I Peter 4:9), and compassionate (Colossians 3:12).  We need to reach out and show Christ's love to everyone, especially those who are alone.
