Encouraging Words for the Thirsty

Have you ever been really thirsty? Like when the afternoon fun at the lake ends, or the ninth inning brings a well-earned win! Nothing can beat an icy glass of chilly water sloshing down our dry and dusty throats to quench a well-earned thirst.

While that cold water satisfies the demands of our physical body, are we merely bodies requiring water? Or, are we more than that? What quenches the thirst in our soul and spirit, those innermost parts of us that can't be touched by human hands? How are they nurtured?

In a conversation with a Samaritan woman, Jesus told of a "living water" that, if she would drink of this water she would never be thirsty again. (John 4:10-15) He was, of course, referring to "spiritual" water. That is the only kind of water that will quench a thirsty spirit.

Inside this book you will find 93 drinks of "living water". Some will make you smile, some will make you think, but all will draw you to Jesus, the One who was raised from the dead, lives today, and wants to get to know you!
