Thirst!?

You can go along time without food but you can't try that with water. I have learned that
the human body is at least 75% water, amazing, wonder why we can drown! Anyways, today I
got dehydrated very bad, my motor skills slowed down, I felt dissy, I had no energy at all.
I started to day dream about this drink I saw some missionaries on 3ABN drinking after they
spent 15 hours on the plane, their comment was that the 15 hours was worth it to get that
drink. My mouth would have watered if I wasn't so dehydrated. It's funny how dependent we
are as humans on external forces to keep us alive. We can't sustain our own selves -
probably this notion of God puzzles some and lead others to become aethist. But this fact
enforces my belief in God - He is my fountain of life (John 4:7-14). He said drink and you
will never thirst again. Physical thirst is one thing but we tend to forget about the
spiritual thirst that is there just drying away at our souls. We as humans thirst after
things that we think will quench the thirst that we have. We chase love, companionship,
money, material things, fame, power, beauty, acceptance by peers, all in the effort of
quenching the everlasting thirst that we have. Yes, spiritual thirst is everlasting if not
quenched by Jesus Christ. Nothing on this sin infested planet can replace the water from
God. The cool sensation of love running over your lips, the taste of mercy and grace as it
passess over your taste buds down to your throat, the filling of forgiveness it gives after
settling deep in your stomach. On a higher level, it makes you both physically, mentally,
and spiritually healthy. The vices of this world seem pleasureable but it's only for a
season (Hebrews 11:25), it's like a spoonful of syrup when you are parched - sweet for a
moment but the thirst isn't quenched if anything it's made worst. When the Holy Spirit
falls like rain it brings relief and encouragement and we should seek out Jesus Christ all
the time to be constantly refuelled with the refreshing water of life which He freely
distributes to all who will receive.
