And He said to her,

 

“Come. Sit with me.

Lay your head on my shoulder.

Rest.

 

Life has been hard.

You’ve been depleted; running on empty.

Struggling to stay afloat with what little resources you have.

 

Why do you insist on trying to find your way in a dry and barren land?

Why do you grope about in the wilderness?

This is no way to live.

 

 

I am the fount of living water.

Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst.

Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water, springing up to eternal life. (John 4:14)

 

Let me fill you.

Take a deep breath.

Breathe in my life-giving spirit.

 

Do you feel it?

Welling up inside you?

Filling you from head to toe?

 

Now just rest.

Rest in my arms.

Rest in my love.

 

 

Daughter, you must make this a daily habit.

You must continue to be filled day after day.

I am faithful to fill you- if you will let me.

Only then will your river never run dry.”

 

~Your Beloved

 

 

Are you dry and thirsty, seeking to find mercy? 

Does your soul feel empty down inside?

Just come unto Jesus, He’s waiting now to fill us,

For He has a bountiful supply.

Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” ~John 4:14
