“If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” - John 7:37-38
"Poland Spring", "Crystal Spring", "Saratoga Spring" and "Spring of Life" are just a few names for drinking water companies. The names elicit thoughts of fresh, rushing, mountain springs of cool refreshing water. The thought of such waterways almost quenches the thirst by the very idea. We are never moved in the same way with stagnant water from a city reservoir. Our thirst is best quenched by living water.
In truth, we are all aware that many water bottles are processed far from any mountain spring. But, we still raise the bottle to our lips with hopes that we have a small slice of the great outdoors. In contrast the Lord offers all who believe the real deal for their souls. He invites those who are thirsty to come and drink of living waters. He doesn't quench the thirst of the soul with old stagnant water. He promises fresh water, and He offers us water that will flow deep and wide like a river.
Does your soul feel dry and parched my friend? Have you tried the bottles of man-made water that have that stagnant taste that never satisfies? Well, come to Jesus and experience the wonderful outpouring of His Holy Spirit within your heart. Your thirst will be more than quenched with living water that flows deep and wide like a river.
