Only the Living Water will do!!!

This morning I woke up with a heavy heart, and I was determined to lay in bed and talk to God. I resolved not to place my feet onto the floor until He lifted my burden. So there I lay, praying, asking, seeking for some type of immediate fix. I had my bible in hand, my daily devotion and my focus on Him. I could not understand why my heavy heart. It could be a number of things honestly, from the aches of a prodigal child to the feeling distant from my God, to the simplest fact that I have been without water here in my home for 1 week now. You see my main water line from the house to the street has broke, and of course it runs right under my concrete driveway:(  Now I am dealing with my homeowners insurance to see if they will cover the cost of our loss. Right there is enough to heavy anyone heart. With all the distractions of my daily grind I sometimes get overwhelmed and cannot even focus enough to send out a request to my God.  ”We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words can not express.” Rom 8:26 Thank God for that, can I get an Amen!!

So as I lay, with my heart unsure of what it needs I start to one at a time break down my concerns to Him. Starting with A and ending with Z, I lay it all out to Him, the One who created the heavens and earth. Just giving life to my concerns already starts to make me feel better, to place at the feet of my Savior my desires, prayers, aches and of course my praises starts my spiritual juices to flow.

Then just as gentle as He always does, he gives me this….. My heart is somewhat like my house at this hour……lacking fresh flowing water. My heart is feeling somewhat like my water pipe, crushed, and broken. There is no water coming to my home/heart because I have a damaged water line. You see, many things could of caused this, pressure, over use, freezing temperatures, or just simply being old and in need of attention. Sadly and honestly this is what I believe happened…… all of the above.  I know what I need, I know what will repair my heart and my home, it is nothing less than the Living Water, not that filthy water that comes from the world.

Luckly, I know that this Living Water is there waiting to be tapped into. Ready to continue to supply my home. What a comfort, what a joy, you see, I just don’t want any water/or fix for that matter…..I want the Living Water…. “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water i give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. Jn 4:13-14.  Well up my Lord, well up and fill my heart and home with your Living Water!!!!!!

AMEN
