Water from the Source
Jesus said, "Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst - not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life.
John 4:14 - The Message
The woman whom Jesus met at the well was preoccupied with satisfying her daily need for water. Jesus, though, saw she had need for water able to satisfy the thirst of her innermost being. It is only Jesus who can offer you water that satisfies your inner thirst. Previously you drank from so many vessels that left you thirsty! Then you drank of Jesus' vessel. You tasted the water of life and how it refreshed!
In the mornings I'll awake and recognise a deep thirst within me. At that time I often pray as David prayed, "O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You in a land where there is no water". Then I'll worship and praise, stirring up within me the joy of salvation. I'll open my Bible, pause in prayer as I wait on God's Spirit and then I'll start to drink deeply from His Word. It quenches my thirst and uncovers again that spring within me put there by the Holy Spirit. Psa.63:1, Isa.12:3.
By the Holy Spirit be a source of living water for others. It starts with God's word being water to you first! Who can minister refreshing to others? It is one who has got God's artesian spring within them gushing? Partake first yourself of the water Christ gives! Then water will start to gush up in you. It will not only quench your thirst but also be available to quench the thirst of the thirsty around you.
Drink and have drink to give!
