There are days when my soul gets thirsty for a glimpse of the trees
and the water
and the clouds.
Especially on those dry and weary days,
or after a busy and full time,
I ache for that need to touch God's Beauty.
I think Jesus must surely understand that longing,
after all, He spoke to that very thirst
when He walked this earth.
John 4:13-14 (NIV) Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 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.”
Are you in a place of dryness?
My heart understands that longing also.
So would you join me in this prayer,
on a bright November weekend?
"Dear Jesus,
we need your living water.
We come before you
with hearts that are filled
with longing.
As we touch your creation here,
given to point us to you,
we ask for your help
to seek for more of YOU.
We know that the water of this world
will leave us empty
and searching for more.
So, Jesus, will you come
and bring the filling
that meets us in the center of our being?"
John 7:37-38 (NIV) On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
