Encouragement for your daily walk with God

Have you ever been thirsty - really thirsty? The only thing your body craves is water. 

Christ followers know the soul is like that too. Your soul can get dehydrated if you don’t get enough spiritual water. Parched hearts make for desperate living. Demanding tempers. Tumultuous worry. Gnarling guilt. Paralyzing  fear — none of which reflect the way God wants you to live your life. 

Resentment. Sleeplessness. Loneliness. Irritability. Insecurity. All of these are indications of a dry, thirsty soul. So take a big gulp [not from 7-11]. Flood your soul with a giant swallow of spiritual water. 

Where do you find it? Jesus said, “If you’re thirsty, come to me and drink” [John 7:37].

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 Paraphrase
