“If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Rivers of living water will brim and spill out of the depths of anyone who believes in me this way, just as the Scripture says.” (John 7:38 MSG)
The demands, doubts, and disturbances continued to punctuate my day and I’m exhausted. Weary. Worn down like a rock immersed in a stream for too long. Have you been there, dear friend? Are you the go-to-girl at home, work, or with your friends? Do you desperately need refreshment?
Then drink deeply from the Living Water. Unlike either of us, Christ is an unlimited resource. He’s available when you’ve been up until 3 a.m. with a feverish child or consoled a friend grieving a dream unrealized. He’ll parch your thirsty soul when others have taken everything from your reserves.
Filled to overflowing by His inexhaustible promises, you’ll be prepared to pour your life into others once again.
This Week’s Challenge Take a walk to the Water’s edge. Spend 15 minutes each morning with Him praying and reading Scripture. Never read the Bible? A great place to start is the Gospel of John.

15 minutes is a great way to start, my time with our Lord is now at the minimum of 30 minutes in the morning and He is calling me to some afternoon time too!! And it all began with 15 minutes and a thirst to know Him better. 🙂
