Sources – do you have one that will satisfy?

People always look for sources to fill the void, the emptiness, that hole. Are you thirsting for something, what is your source? Are you hungry for something, what is your source? How do you satisfy your thirst? How do you help your hunger? Do you have a source that will benefit you?

Do you realize that Jesus is the answer? Do you realize He is the source we are needing to fill the void, the emptiness, and that hole in our lives?

‘Now on the last and most important day of the feast, Jesus stood and called out [in a loud voice], “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink! He who believes in Me [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Me], as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of living water.’ ” But He was speaking of the [Holy] Spirit, whom those who believed in Him [as Savior] were to receive afterward. The Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honor). ‘

John 7:37-39

Have you had an encounter with Jesus? Are you in a living relationship with Jesus? Life isn’t about living rituals or routines but instead having a living relationship with God! God is offering us a free gift and all we have to do is receive it and then start to live! God’s plan is that we can have fulfilled lives where as the devil’s plan is to rob, kill, and destroy us.

Today’s Verse of the Day:

So are you longing for God? Are you ready to be filled with His living water through a relationship with Jesus? Do you want to fill that hole? Do you want to fill that void? Are you willing to receive the one who is able to fill it completely? We all get the opportunity to choose and decide because it is an individual decision.
