Living Water

It's been really hard for me to write lately, and I'd rather not just write to write, but have some purpose. Ya know? Do you ever experience periods of drought or loss? Well I do. You see, it's just been a hard time for me and I've experienced this void in my life. As I seek to fill the emptiness in my heart, I am often slow and I try to fill it with things that won't completely satisfy or last. For instance, food. Everyone gets hungry and has to eat, but the truth is that no matter how much you or I eat, we will always wind up hungry again! That's why I love John 4, the story of the woman at the well. Beth Moore's study on Breaking Free has been enlightening. God gives us this beautiful picture about living water. Jesus asks the woman for a drink, then shows her that the water in the well will cause her to be thirsty again, but that He has living water that will not only satisfy, but be a "fountain...springing up to eternal life" (vs. 13). Now that's what I'd like to fill me up! I hope you do too!
