Thirst

"Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst....” John 4:13
"God is the kind of God who will be pleased
with the one thing I have to offer
— my thirst...
When we hope in God
we glorify God as the fountain of deep and lasting joy...
God is delighted not by the resourcefulness of bucket brigades,
but by the bending down of broken sinners
to drink at the fountain of grace.”
– John Piper
"And then He who sits on the throne said, “Let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take from the spring of the water of life without cost."
Revelation 21:6, 22:17
Lord, we come to You...thirsty. Forgive us for the times we quench our thirst with things of this world.....things that are not eternal. Thank You for Your never ending grace and love....but most of all, for this eternal Home that we are striving for. Thirsting for....
