Living Water

It is so beautiful here in Chicago! It's 55 degrees outside! I'm loving it. Thank You, Lord, for this taste of spring!

I love water. All day, every day I have to have water around. You cannot tell me that a nice glass of ice cold water is not the best drink in the entire universe. Can. Not. I will go into restaurants and say "just water" and it's not me being cheap. It really is what I prefer. Hands down.

It's something about water that truly quenches my thirst. Everything else I drink, I have to wash it down with a glass of water afterwards. It's like my throat is not satisfied until some water splashes through.

The Word says that our belief in Christ gives us the benefit of living waters. These living waters enable our spirits to thirst no more. These waters satiate our souls to the very core. There's something about Jesus that makes your spirit satisfied. After tasting of His goodness, you don't want anything else.

We can't be selfish with what we've found, though. We can't just keep it all to ourselves.

There's a world around us that is trying any and every thing to try and quench their inner thirst. They're turning to drugs, sex, money, alcohol, their jobs, their loved ones, their hobbies, other gods, the internet... they're looking all over for anything that will ease their soul's cries.

But they won't find satisfaction until they drink from the living waters of Christ. And we have an unlimited supply!

Take some time to 'quench the thirst' of someone around you today. Make sure you pour out some of the living waters that flow through your soul. What you pour out could very well cause someone to tap into their own constant supply of God's satisfying goodness.

Verse of the Day: He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. John 7:38
