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.
