What Do You Thirst For?

Jesus said "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within them." (John7:37-38)

I would suggest that there is in all of us a thirst for an experience of The Other. Our soul yearns for refreshment that can only come from God. Yet, we try and try again to get by with only that which we can provide ourselves. It is analogous to drinking from a stagnant pool that has no source of fresh water coming into it. We get sicker the longer we block the true source. Our resources dwindle.

As we enter more deeply into this time called Lent, allow the floodgates to be opened and invite the Holy Spirit to fill you... refresh you... renew every cell of your being with God's Presence.

Just a thought,

P.C.
