Living Water

 

I love playing with empty water bottles. I like the crunchy feeling of the plastic. When I play with water bottles, it reminds me of a passage in the Bible that talks about "living water". In John 4, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well. He asks for a drink and they start talking. In verse 13 Jesus says -

(John 4:13-14)

 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

Have you ever been so thirsty that nothing quite satisfies your need as a great big glass of water? When my mommy takes me on walks, she always needs a bottle of water because exercising makes her thirsty. She doesn't want soda or juice, because those drinks aren't as satisfying as water. Jesus is the same way. We can search after other things to satisfy our thirst, but when we drink the living water, we will never be unsatisfied again. If you're feeling a little dehydrated, pick up your Bible! That's where you'll find the living water. Think of it as your personal water fountain, just waiting for you to take a drink! ;)
