I am awestruck once again by my reading today. 

"Thirst is terrible, but Jesus can remove it. Though the soul were utterly famished, Jesus could restore it. 

Proclamation is made most freely, that every thirsty one is welcome. No other distinction is made but that of thirst. Whether it be the thirst of avarice, ambition, pleasure, knowledge, or rest, he who suffers from it is invited. The thirst may be bad in itself, and be no sign of grace, but rather a mark of inordinate sin longing to be gratified with deeper draughts of lust; but it is not goodness in the creature which brings him the invitation, the Lord Jesus sends it freely, and without respect of persons.

No waiting or preparation is so much as hinted at. Drinking represents a reception for which no fitness is required. A fool, a thief, a harlot can drink; and so sinfulness of character is no bar to the invitation to believe in Jesus. We want no golden cup, no bejewelled chalice, in which to convey the water to the thirsty; the mouth of poverty is welcome to stoop down and quaff the flowing flood. Blistered, leprous, filthy lips may touch the stream of divine love; they cannot pollute it, but shall themselves be purified. Jesus is the fount of hope. Dear reader, hear the dear Redeemer’s loving voice as he cries to each of us,

“IF ANY MAN THIRST,
LET HIM
COME UNTO ME
AND DRINK.”

Both of these quotes come from "Morning and Evening" a devotional written by Spurgeon. The verse is from 37 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.
38 "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'"
(Joh 7:37-38 NAU)

Would you consider with me today and even maybe accept a challenge over the next month or year ? Am I being stingy with God's living water? After all it is not mine it is HIS and HE does say "ANYONE is thirsty" not just those with pretty blue eyes and great complexions. If you find yourself being stingy like myself then would you join me in thinking out-loud (here on FB), of how we can become outgoing and generous with this living water that dry weary, thirsty souls can be quenched with the love and grace of our eternal savior, JESUS.

If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink

Praying for you to be a drip today....
God Bless and Happy New Year!!!!!!!!
