today's devotional. Hey, welcome to the Daily Drive. Summer is almost over. I can't believe it,

but school is starting in most places. And just like I do every day,

I'm praying for you students as you go back to school. And also for all you teachers, administrators,

and bus drivers and custodians and counselors and coaches and security and medical personnel

and cafeteria workers and crossing guards and all you parents as well. And as all of us move among people,

wherever we go, my prayer is that we would do it the way Jesus did. So for the next couple of

weeks, I thought we would look at some one-on-one encounters that Jesus had with some people.

And I'm praying that it might help all of us get to know Jesus better and maybe even might help us as we try to imitate him with the way we treat people.

I thought we might start today with a story found in John chapter 4.

Have you all ever had that feeling where you knew everybody was talking about you?

You ever had the experience where you see a little group of people in the hallway

at school close to your locker or a cluster of people around the coffee pot at work

or some neighbors at a barbecue?

And when you walk up, all conversation stops.

And you could tell with the glances, the awkward silence, all the four smiles,

what they were talking about.

Ever had that happen to you?
