Thirst for life ​ ​- 2019.09.04

Jesus said in a loud voice:
“Let anyone who is thirsty come to Me​ ​and drink. Whoever believes in Me… rivers of living water will flow within them.”
John 7:37f

During the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem Jesus said these words to the people whom he was arguing with. They did not understand Him, were puzzled. Who is He? Is He a prophet? Is He the Messiah? Most of them rejected Him because His statements did not fit into their thinking, respectively were beyond their imagination.
Jesus can not be understood and judged with our mind, only through the Holy Spirit. He actually only challenged them: Come and try it! Find out whether I am the Son of God! Drink and quench your thirst, be filled with peace, be safed. The scribes, however, sticked to their dead letters, did not risk to go any unknown steps.
Yes this step of faith has to be done. Check it and see! It will then be revealed to you that He is the Messiah, the Redeemer, Savior who tells the truth and exposes the sin. He is the Messenger of God who speaks the truth, nothing else but what His Father tells Him. He is the way to the Lord, He is life!
All people are full of thirst for life, for harmony, peace, and joy. Only Jesus can quench it, He is the answer! He is the only One who can give peace to our troubled heart. Glory to Him, the Prince of Peace!
Many already have pondered about Jesus, have talked and discussed about Him. But only few dare to totally surrender to His love, to test His promises. But if you really are thirsty for true life and peace, long for harmony, for forgiveness of all guilt, then please open your heart and believe in Him! Honestly tell Him all about you, how big your thirst for truth is. Asked Him to come into your heart that He cares for you.
Do it with all your heart and strength, drink to the fullest and He will fill you up excessively. Try it again and again until rivers of living water will flow within you. Be sure, He will quench your thirst! If your first love has become dry then dig deeper into the well until the living water will flow again. Do not rely on “stale water” of this world. Keep on digging, do not stop talking to Jesus, tell Him all, about yours needs and expect answers! Jesus says: Who believes in Me will live forever!

Thank You, Jesus, You have everything in abundance: Eternal life, peace, harmony, love, forgiveness, and joy. You want to give it all. Yes, Lord, I am thirsty, give me to drink, let your living water flow within me. Fill me!
