Living Water

I'm feeling really excited about Jesus tonight, just thought I'd let ya'll know,

So all day today I was super thirsty. This morning I had orange juice (don't worry, this HAS a point!), then at lunch lemonade. I was 'too busy' to stop and get a drink from the water fountain today during class. So today I went to a friends surprise birthday party, and I got super thirsty again. Did I go and get water from the fridge? Nope! Instead I went straight to the Dr.Pepper, went thru a whole can, and then grabbed some mountain dew. But I was still thirsty. 

So a friend of mine was sitting at the table with me (SHOUT OUT TO FRANCESSS!), and she said something like, "yeah, water is the best."

So what did I do? I WENT AND GOT SOME WATER! And I wasn't thirsty anymore..shocker, right?

Okay, I know this is a super cheesy analogy, but bear with me.

So many times today I was thirsty, and I purposely chose a drink besides water. I think I do that in real life, too! 

"Jesus answered, 'Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water, welling up to eternal life." John 4:13

This whole soda water thing today really opened my eyes to how often I search after other things to satisfy me.  Things that are of the world, be it sin or something that could be put before God-in any circumstance. And I cant help but shake my head at how STUPID I am to think that anything can satisfy, besides the water of Jesus. I mean, really, come on. And it's so easy to push God to the side, and to just make excuses. 

"I'm tired. I'll spend time with you later."

"I mean yeah, I know you're always here and everything, but I'm not really in the mood to hang out with you right now."

Ridiculous. 

Are you KIDDING me?

I get into this same tangent like every time I post on here, but GOD is more REAL than anything the world has to offer! Because at the end of the day, what's going to satisify my thirst? Not the doctor pepper, and not the mountain dew. The water.

The living water.

And the cool thing is, Jesus gives this water freely.  Who are we to push Him aside?

The creator of the universe.

The one who gives freely.

The one who loves unconditionally.

Give up, surrender to Him. He will satisfy. I promise.
