Jesus replied, "People soon become thirsty again after drinking this water. But the water I give them takes away thirst altogether. It becomes a perpetual spring within them, giving them eternal life."
"Please sir," the woman said, "give me some of that water! Then I'll never be thirsty again, and I won't have to come here to haul water." John 4:13-15
I read this today and it really stuck with me. We look to this world to fill our void, but no matter what we get out of this world, we are constantly wanting and looking for more. I say this a lot, but nothing of this world satisfies: no materials, no relationships, no success, no money. This woman gets it. She didn't need any convincing. Jesus is telling us what the answer is, and she is asking for it without holding back. I want this heart, I want this longing. I don't want to thirst for things of this world, but for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ only. And what a blessing that He doesn't hold back anything from us.
Drink it in. :)
