Being thirsty sucks.
What? It's true.
Dry mouth. Bad breath. Muscle cramps. Headaches. I mean, these are only a few of the problems with being thirsty right? If you've ever had heat stroke, you know the ramifications. It is proven that sometimes humans eat food and do not get satisfied because they misinterpret their thirst for hunger. Drinking Enough water has benefits of clearing up skin, and can flush up to 15 extra pounds out of your system A YEAR!!!
So what? For starters, drink your 32 oz. minimum of water a day!
For seconds, think about what this means for you spiritually. We are moving away from metaphors, kids! What's Jesus telling us?
He's telling us he can make us NEVER thirst AGAIN.
Sounds pretty cool, but you have NO idea...
I just told you what SUCKS about being thirsty. Physically. Now, Jesus tells us that while this body is important, so is our SPIRIT. In fact, the SPIRIT may be even MORE important, because when we DIE, the spirit keeps on living.
Stay with me.
SO, if we need the spirit to keep running efficiently, we need to FEED and WATER it the way one might feed and water our body. And Jesus is telling us that he wants to Provide us with the water.
What does that mean? Well, first of all, think about the good things that water does for the body. NOW think about all the metaphorical WATER that we could get. And not just any old Spiritual water. This is not south of the boarder, Parasite ridden, come back with a tape worm kinda water! This is pure, fresh, clean, right off the mountain and into your body through a spiffy looking sport top! You might know it as the Holy spirit!
Sounds good! sign me up right?
If you're reading this you're probably are covered. Crack open your bible. See what you can find. Pick a passage, ANY PASSAGE, see what moves you. ASK YOURSELF QUESTIONS. If it doesn;t make sense in your head, READ it out loud. What makes you less thirsty about it. Bada-bing! Eternal water via bible.
Do it, to it. although I don't recommend reading ur bible and drinking water.... the bible is more of a oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and milk kinda book :)
