All the same...sometimes I don't remember or quite frankly, I cant be bothered to get up from my desk at work to constantly go to the bathroom because of all the water in my system :) but water is essential for life..without it, for extended periods of time, you'll end up sick, dehydrated, weak and faint.

That's natural thirst...it must be quenched...it must be satisfied for the promotion of good health. But what about spiritual thirst?...what about the thirsting of your soul? You know about that thirsting....that empty place...that unsatisfied place..that void...maybe you've tried to satisfy it with many lovers, maybe with alcohol, maybe with narcotics..I don't know what you've used..I know for me, I used to spend my days pouring out my life without measure to try and fill the void in me...the void in the depth of my soul...the void I thought that being somebody's girlfriend or lover could fill...the void I found out that only Jesus could fill! You see, Jesus took me up from a real dirty place...I know my testimony is not one of being delivered from alcoholism and it's not even so much of being delivered from a spirit of sexual immorality (even though that's part of it) as it was of being delivered from low self-esteem...delivered from trying to fill up on worldly, fleeting pleasures...you see, not many of my brothers and sisters in the Lord wanna tell their testimony...the real dirt that God found them in...but to the glory of the Lamb, I confess that I was messed up! I struggled for so long against rejection...I struggled to know that in spite of my physical state..being overweight and maybe not as pretty as the next girl, that God loved me...even though men passed me by or used and misused me, God loved me and wanted to quench the thirsting of my soul.

Jesus told the woman at the well in John 4, that the living water He had to offer her, would give her a soul-thirst quenching...He promised her that if she drank of that living water, who was Himself, that she'd never thirst again...and I promise you that as well my friend...if you drink from that fountain which shall never run dry, you'll never need to fill up on the things that used to satisfy on a temporary basis...sex is only good for the moment...alcohol is only good for the moment...but afterward there is the consequence of the hangover..the nauseated feeling...I promise you, after this drink of living water, there'll be no negative hangover...the results won't be temporary...the fix won't be temporary...but the high lasts forever...Jesus won't fail you, He won' t leave you out in the cold, He won't allow you to get dehydrated, weak or faint! Won't you drink from the fountain today? Won't you accept Him into your heart or recommit your life to Him? He's waiting....He loves you and wants to fill you up...

God bless
