Welcome to the Intouch Podcast with Charles Stanley for Wednesday, February 1st.

Church Goers are mostly familiar with the Samaritan lady who met Jesus at a well.

But sometimes we overlook the personal application.

Her story helps us find the only source of true contentment.

Hopeless is a heavy word.

Hopeless is a word that wants to chain you, drag you down, bring you to the end of life.

Hopeless, absolutely hopeless.

And you know there are lots of people that you may live around that are hopeless.

And you may be hopeless.

I trust you or not, but you could be.

You've tried it all and nothing worked.

You've been there and it didn't make any difference.

You've been loved by this one and loved by that one and hated by this one and hated

by the other and used by all of them and nothing satisfied you.

You don't have anywhere to go.

All of your goals and dreams have been shattered and the truth is you don't have anything

to hope for.

And this point in your life, your sinfulness, your disobedience of your belly, and you

turned off God a long time ago.

So where are you in life?

You lost its dark, dengy, dismal, and there you are.

It's like being in a swamp emotionally.
