"If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink," said Jesus. "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." John 7:37-39
When you look before you and you see God's cup OVERFLOWING with love, grace, forgiveness, happiness, the cure for oppression, healing, confidence, and did I mention GRACE?...
TAKE A HUGE DRINK AND DON'T STOP, LET THE OVERFLOW THEN SPLASH OFF OF YOU ONTO OTHERS.
When searching for God or searching for anything mentioned above, don't search so hard that you forget to stop and take a big drink anyway, trusting that what you need is in there.
- Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, John 4:6–15
- HE IS OFFERING THIS WATER, NOT SO YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DRINK IT BUT SO YOU CAN FREELY DRINK IT WHEN YOU NEED IT AND WHEN YOU THINK YOU DON'T.
- If any man thirst, let him come into me, and drink, John 7:37
- AND THERE ARE DEFINITELY TIMES WHEN YOU WILL NEED IT MORE THAN OTHERS. WE ALL GET WEARY AND WE ALL NEED TO RETURN TO HIM DAILY
- The rod of iron led to the fountain of living waters,
- 1 Ne. 11:25
HIS WATER IS LIVING! WHAT THE HECK DOES THIS MEAN? ONE DICTIONARY ENTRY IS "ACTIVE OR THRIVING; VIGOROUS; STRONG" HIS WORD KNOWS HOW TO REMAIN THE SAME WHILE ADAPTING TO YOUR EVERY NEED. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
- Partake of the waters of life freely, D&C 10:66
AND THIS VERSE DEMONSTRATES THAT WE SERVE A GOD THAT IS OFFERING HIMSELF UP FREELY EVERY SECOND, AND YOU DON'T "NEED" TO HAVE A REASON TO COME TO HIM. HE WANTS YOU ALL OF THE TIME. ALTERNATELY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE "GOOD" ENOUGH TO COME TO HIM, HE WANTS YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE. HE LOVES YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE RIGHT NOW, BUT HE LOVES YOU TOO MUCH TO LEAVE YOU THAT WAY. YOU HAVE A PURPOSE IN LIFE BUT YOU DON'T STOP DRINKING ONCE YOU ARE DOING IT, THEN YOU'LL NEED IT MORE!
So, I guess I'm saying keep seeking Him and keep drinking in His love. Even if you're doing nothing else, NEVER stop doing this.
Much Love,
C
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes...." Jeremiah 17:7-8
