I am thirsty, but most of the time I don’t know it. Soul thirsty. My soul thirsts for God, but I try to quench it with everything but Him. I don’t recognize the true source of this parched feeling in my spirit because I am busy filling myself with substitutes for the Living Water. I stay busy so I don’t have to think about the ache in my gut. I try harder, perform better, thinking this will quell the angst. Finally, when I am weak and weary, I realize that I have been overlooking my need for God. I need time with Him, to rest in His presence, to soak in His peace. To be filled with the water of life. It is so easy, this surrender. He is always waiting, at the ready to satisfy my deepest longings.
I hope that you can take time this week to find God. He longs to fill you, to meet you. To love you. Come, take a drink from the well.
Isaiah 55:1-3 ~ “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; listen, that you may live.”

Hey,
I’m a college student in Texas and my mom goes to your church in GA. I was feeling pretty tired of school the other day and my mom told me I should come look at your sight… the post about the balloons being tied down. Anyways, I’ve been hooked ever since and I just wanted to let you know that your work is really inspiring and encouraging to the spirit. Thanks for letting God speak through your willingness to listen and obey!
