Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks from this water will get thirsty again. But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty again. In fact, the water I will give him will become a well of water springing up in him for eternal life.” (John 4:13-14)
I was thinking on those words today.
What is a well for? Just for decoration? No, it is meant to be drunk from. Not just once. Constantly.
God has given me the Living Water of his Spirit. (John 7:38-39)
I don’t need to go anywhere to obtain him. He is dwelling right here within me. And I’m meant to be drinking in his fellowship, his love, and his power, moment to moment, day to day.
And all this is not just for “life in heaven someday”.
It’s so I can experience true life now. Eternal life starts now.
But if I’m not constantly drinking of the Spirit, if I’m seeking to be satisfied by other “wells”, I will get thirsty again.
I don’t want to be that way.
So as I prayed last week, I pray to the Holy Spirit again.
More love,
More power,
More of you in my life. — Jude Del Hierro
