THE WATER OF YOUR SOUL

“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."  (John 4:14 NIV)

Jesus does for your soul what water does for your body. And, thankfully, we don’t have to give Him directions.

We give none to water, do we? Before swallowing, do you look at the liquid and say, “Ten drops of you go to my spleen. I need fifty on cardiovascular detail. The rest of you head north to my scalp. It’s really itchy today.” Water somehow knows where to go.

Jesus knows the same. Your directions are not needed, but your permission is. Like water, Jesus won’t come in unless swallowed. That is, we must willingly surrender to His lordship. You can stand waist deep in the Colorado River and still die of thirst. Until you scoop and swallow, the water does your system no good. Until you gulp Christ, the same is true…

Internalize Him. Ingest Him. Welcome Him into the inner workings of your life. Let Christ be the water of your soul. 

-- Max Lucado in “Come Thirsty: No Heart Too Dry for His Touch”
