Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:But whosoever drinketh of water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.-John 4:13-14
( The story of Jesus and the woman at the well)
Have you ever been thirsty? So thirsty that nothing can quite quench your thirst? Of course! We drink gallons of water, Gatorade, kool-aid, or soft drinks to cool us down when we are dry and need a drink. Have you ever searched for something and not quite found what you were looking for? Maybe it was clothes, paper work, trying to fix a hunger craving that you’re not sure what you want, or is it more?
Have you ever felt like you were falling in a black hole and there’s no way to turn or go? Do you feel like there is no one to talk to or no one to listen? Like there is no way out? There is a way out! There is hope! The way is Jesus and He came to give you a soul drink!
I felt the exact same way about a year ago. I have been blessed with a wonderful christian family and got saved when I was young, but I fell away from God. I decided to take on the world by myself. I still prayed but I was nowhere near being what a christian is. I didn’t give God all of me and I backslid. I fell back into sin and was doing sinful acts. I was searching for something to fill a void in my life and I thought the world could give it to me. I thought that I just hadn’t found what I was looking for so I kept on searching. I was half right. I hadn’t truly found what I was searching for until I heard my dad preach a message on July 04, 2010. It changed my life! God was what I was searching for. He was my spiritual drink. All this time, He had been wanting me to leave all of my past, my mistakes, my sin…to leave it all behind and come to His well. He wanted to be what my soul longed for. He wanted my heart, all of me. He knew how dirty I felt, and how I didn’t even feel like I had the right to pray, but to Jesus it didn’t matter. He cleaned me up, healed and mended my broken heart, and has/is molding me into the christian woman I am today. He has stolen my heart and has quenched my thirst and has given me rest in His arms.
He can do the exact same thing for you. It doesn’t matter what you have done. Just come as you are. He is pleading and patiently waiting on you to come and have a spiritual drink. He is waiting to fill you up and to cleanse you. He has what your searching for, and He will mend your brokeness and give you a joy and warmth that is everlasting. There is no word to describe what He can do for you. Your search will end and your thirst will be quenched. Don’t let Satan tell you that you are worthless and unforgivable. He just wants to drag you down! God is much stronger than that.
This old world will try to fill your void, but it will fail!! Leave all your past behind..Come to His Well!
Be Blessed,
