Journey, an update from Rachelle Sperling 8-9-06

If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." John 7:37b-38

I've been rereading a book called Splash the Living Water by Esther Burroughs. The first chapter impacted me the same way this time as it did the last time I read it. The message repeated throughout the chapter: "...And she was thirsty."

How often do I look around and see people involved in normal, everyday activities and forget that many of them are dying of thirst. Many are thirsty and don't even realize that they are trying to quench their thirst with things that only dehydrate them in the end. But there are some, who search for the drink to quench their thirst, who are looking for the living water. Am I aware of their thirst? Am I aware of those moments when God puts them into my path so that I can offer them a drink? May I see with His eyes and stand with glass in hand so that the sentence may read, ...and she was thirsty, but now her thirst is quenched by the streams of living water."
