“He Is the Living Water”
by Dona Hake
Only Jesus can satisfy our thirsty souls. He explained to the woman at the well the meaning of the true spring of water that only He gives.
“Jesus answered her, All who drink of this water will be thirsty again.
But whoever takes a drink of the water that I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling) [continually] within him unto (into, for) eternal life.”
Whether life is full and good or if you are drained within, it is only His life giving water that can satisfy and sustain you. May we daily stop and drink of His water that will strengthen and refresh our soul. It will continue to minister to that thirst within us because it is from the living God. Everything that God gives is above and beyond all that we dare ask or think.
As this scripture translation says, His water “shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling, continually…” This gives such a beautiful image of His living water within us. It truly is the life flow from which we can draw upon whenever we meet uncertainty and overwhelming problems. God is gracious and He ever lives to pour forth that living water to us!
