"To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me." - Acts 26:18

Living Water
Humanity continues to attempt to find replacements for what we lost when we were separated from God. But none of this satisfies us for very long. Religion, human relationships, inventions, hobbies, systems, education, worldly pleasures, the accumulating of possessions have all come up short. Power, fame, and fortune all fail. Humanity tries to not grow old, not grow hungry, to not get sick and to not thirst. But all to no avail. The precious gift of God, His Living Water, has been seeping out because the crucible is cracked. Adam fell and since repentance was not his desire he was lost. Human hearts remained fractured to this day. When humans do not abide in the vine they will wither. Humans search and wander looking for the source of Life Giving water. But we dry up; age, and our leaves begin to fall off. Humans look for any kind of moisture! Like the woman Jesus met at the well in Samaria. Jesus says if anyone thirsts let them come to Me and drink! If anyone believes out of his heart will flow Living Water! The woman of Samaria abandoned her past and became a fountain. God fills those who are His with the water that flows from Him. We are filled with life when we are filled with God. God gives this life to all who are born anew of His Spirit and remain in Him by faith. God revives their soul eternally! Those who go on drinking will be satisfied. The blood of Christ purifies us from all spiritual defilement. Christ becomes a fountain springing up in them everlasting life. Are you drinking in and absorbing the Words of Christ?
