COME TO THE WELL

In John 4:7-15 we find a powerful metaphor illustrating God’s heart for his people:

“Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.”

We were created with an insatiable thirst for relationship with God. We were made to experience true rest and satisfaction in one place and from one relationship: intimacy with the Father. In Jesus we find what our hearts have been looking for from our first breath. In Jesus we find a pathway to the Father not formed by our exploration or wandering, but by his steadfast love and unceasing pursuit.

Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters... Isaiah 55:1

Where do you need the life-giving waters of God’s presence today? Where do you need him to fill you up that you might operate from a place of overflow?

“For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.” Isaiah 44:3

Draw from the waters of God’s love. Receive his presence and find rest for your soul in his steadfast love.

“He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.” Psalm 23:2-3
