We are so thirsty. It is on my to-do list to make eight tries at drinking water today. But only our Lord offers the true life giving water. As He told the woman at the well, "Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." (John 4:7-26)
And as this well woman learned, we can come to Jesus, acknowledge all (even a secret, ugly, five - husband past), and He will reveal Himself: "I who speak to you am He (the Messiah)."

But our Source does not give a dribbling, penury stream. This "well of water springing up" is a lavish gushing fountain.(Jeremiah 2:13) And we would do well to follow Jeremiah's advice and stop trying to contain God's life birthing water in our man made broken "cisterns". He came to be a leaping, lively fountain for all.
How appropriate! The final word in God's whole revelation to us is an invitation to come and drink: "And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost." (Revelation 22:17)
Let's come drink deeply from His fountain today.
