thirst because.. Christ offers us everlasting water that will keep us from ever being thirsty again.
Thirst because as Christians we should always want more from Him.
Thirst because that's what I am, Thirsty for God. Thirsty for his love. Thirsty for more of Him- the type of thirst that can never be quenched and the type of water I cannot find anywhere else.
I call this blog thirst because I want you to take one more sip, one more taste- of what God is trying to give you.
Hope. Peace. Love. Comfort. Forgiveness. Salvation. Redemption. Encouragement. Healing. Protection.
His fountain is filled with these things, if only we would dip our hands in it and take a gulp.
God is constantly asking us to drink of his Spirit but what happens when we ignore his voice?
Because its not that God no longer has a voice
-he is the same yesterday, today, and forever
Its not because he's angry with you
-for he is slow in anger but abounding in love
Its not because he's too far to reach
-For he is with you always, even to the end of the age
Its not because he does not care
-because nothing can separate us from the love of God
But its because WE have separated ourselves from him. We have filled our ears with so much garbage, our eyes with so many shameful things
That we cannot hear or see God when he is constantly trying to get our attention.
Do not think that God has forgotten you, you have forgotten God.
So I ask you one thing.
There are two ways that we can leave this world
-either we meet Christ at the pearly gates or he meets us as a thief in the night
How will we answer to him?
Our One True Savior, who sacrificed and died for our sins. The Lamb of God who was slain for the sins of the world. For your sins and for mine.
The savior who gave up his spirit on the Cross, who cried out "My God, My God why have you forsaken me" Whose own Father could not look at him because of the filth, our filth, that he took upon the cross.
How will we answer him when he asks why we could not accept him?
So please, look back on your life through the eyes of God.
Our standards are not his standards.
He sees hatred as murder
Lust as Adultery
If we meet him on judgement day, what will be your ruling?
Innocent or Guilty?
You cannot be saved by yourself, You were born into sin. Your very nature is sinful.
That is why you need a savior.
Jesus Bought you with his precious blood. You were not saved by perishable things like silver or Gold but by the precious blood of Jesus, a lamb without blemish.
But although everyone on earth has been bought, few recognize their salvation- enjoying their bondage.
Do not continue to live in sin but embrace the gift of Life.
The everlasting water
All who are thirsty
All who are weak
Just come to the Fountain
Dip your heart in the Stream of Life
Let the pain and the sorrow
Be washed away
In the wave of his mercy
As deep cries out to deep, we sing
Come Lord Jesus Come...
