Living Water

Jesus has a story about when He was in Samaria.  He came to a well and asked a woman for a drink. She said, "How does a Jew speak with a Samaritan woman?"

Jesus told her she should have asked Him for a drink, and He could give her "Living Water, " that she would NEVER THIRST AGAIN!

Living water is the water that quenches all spiritual thirst.

Read the story again soon, please. It is so beautiful. I just gave the unauthorized summary.

As this was shared as a devotional at our Good News Club organization meeting on Monday I was deeply touched.

Maybe it's the elections, maybe it's the issues at stake, maybe it's just the age we are in, but this story gave me a whole new understanding of Christ's satisfying love.

When you find Christ you will never need to search for any other spiritual necessity in your life. You will grow in Christ, but you will never search for any truth outside of Him. You are satisfied.

Water is essential to our existence. Christ is essential to our spirituality. When we find Him we are eternally satisfied.

You need not search for any other type of faith: Hinduism, Buddhism, Marianism, Islam, Spiritism, the Occult, Paganism, Atheism.

Don't even go there! They cannot satisfy!

You will be satisfied, wholly and perfectly, as you pursue Christ.

He does have all the answers, and He does not disappoint.

Ask Him for Living Water. Believe in Him. You will never thirst again.
