Come Thirsty
by Max
Lucado
What image best
describes your heart?
A
water-drenched kid in front of an open fire hydrant?
Or a bristled,
desert tumbleweed?
You’re
acquainted with physical thirst. Stop drinking and see what happens.
Coherent thoughts vanish, skin grows clammy, and vital organs shut
down. Deprive your body of necessary fluid, and it will tell you.
Deprive your
soul of spiritual water, and it will tell you. Dehydrated hearts send
desperate messages. Snarling tempers. Waves of worry. Growing guilt
and fear. Hopelessness. Resentment. Loneliness. Insecurity.
But you
don’t have to live with a dehydrated heart. God invites you to
treat your thirsty soul as you would treat your physical thirst. Just
visit the WELL and drink deeply:
Receive
Christ’s work on the cross,
The energy of his Spirit,
His lordship over your life,
And his
unending, unfailing love.
