On my break the past couple of days, I've been going out to my car, opening the sunroof, and reading a book entitled "Having a Mary Spirit", referencing Mary (sister of Martha and Lazarus). I just want to share a few excerpts from my reading...
"Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again," Jesus told her (the woman at the well), but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in hm a spring of water welling up to eternal life" (John 4:13-14).
Jesus makes the same offer to you and me today. If you're thirsty, if you can't seem to satisfy that longing in your soul..."Come to Me and drink," He says. If you've tried the well of religion and gone away empty, if you've looked to relationships for meaning but need something more..."Come to Me and drink."
...we weren't created to be mud puddles for Jesus - or clogged, filthy wells. We were meant to be rushing rivers, pouring out His love and mercy to everyone around us. We were meant to be conduits of living water, the sweet and refreshing flow of the Holy Spirit coming in and flowing through and out of our lives.
