You should not see the desert simply as some faraway place of little rain. There are many forms of thirst. ~William Langewiesche
We all have an inner thirst, an emptiness driving us toward a search for something to quench it. Some of us spend our whole lives searching. The world offers many enticing cups--power, knowledge, money, fame.
Water, water everywhere; Nor any a drop to drink. ~Samuel Taylor
Each cup we fill leaves us more thirsty than the one before.
Good as drink is, it ends in thirst ~ Irish proverb
We will never be satiated with drink from this world.
The thirst of desire is never filled, nor fully satisfied ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is only by looking to God that we will be truly satisfied. Standing at the well, Jesus is waiting. He offers living water so that we will never be thirsty again.
Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again; but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:13–14
What's in your cup?
