Don't Be Thirsty.
Recently, I was talking to a co-worker about health
and the importance of working out. I have been on a
health journey for a few years now, but yet I seem to fall
off the bandwagon after life hits me. Usually I go strong
for a few weeks then I crash, but this time I had a sudden
burst of inspiration!
I realized that I had everything on the inside of me that
was needed for me to lose my desired weight. I had been
on this journey for about 1 year now but I have yet to see
long lasting results. All of a sudden after taking inventory
I realized what the issue was!
I have everything I need resting on the inside of me, but
had not fully tapped into the resources to use them
effectively.
The true question is .......what are we doing with
the resources that lie dormant on the inside of us?
What does this have to do with my pursuit of Christ? I’m
happy you asked! Usually the things that we want the
most, we usually seek out. Are you hungry? Then you will
seek out food. Thirsty, then you will seek out water.
When you want something bad enough
you will do whatever it takes to get it!
Jesus is our life, our hope and our
future! We should seek Him first above
our wants and desires.
Learn to live with Jesus and become content no
matter what! Living with Jesus and loving Jesus is an
everyday choice. We must turn and become intentional
about our love affair with the King of Kings. It’s a matter
of life and death!
There are so many souls and lives that are
connected to our yes and obedience to the Lord. It is our
choice to go through, and be all that we can be in Christ.
He will equip us and give us the skills and abilities that
we need to accomplish his works while on the Earth.
“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. “The woman said to
him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be
thirsty or have to come here to draw water” (John
4:13-15).
What are you thirsty for? Is it likes on social media, attention from the opposite sex, or approval of man?
Are you thirsty for more of the living water? Thirst
and you will be filled! It’s a guaranteed promise. The question is are you doing what’s needed to be filled?
Now is not the time to give all of your emotions
and love away on aimless things. Your life is like a bank
account. You determine what and who will be able to
make deposits and withdrawals from your life.
Are the things that you are heavily involved in leaving
you filled, dry, empty, or depleted of energy? Begin to take
inventory of your life and really search out the things that
leave you weak. Then ask yourself if this is God’s best
for you?
You determine what and who will be able to make deposits and
withdrawals from your life.
Should you come into a friend/associate a person's presence and leave dry?
Should you leave that job tired and drained of passion and joy?
No, you should not! Your life is so important.
You are so needed on the Earth and you existing small is not
helping anyone. It’s actually hurting more people.
Now is time to go where you are needed and celebrate! Get far
away from those things that are leaving you sad. Run to
the place that gives life and joy.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us
to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation”
(2 Corinthians 5:17-18).
Fill up on the things of God. Find out what gives
your life meaning, and do it. Live it, reach for it, and go
for it. I meet so many people who are just comfortable
with settling for good enough. When they have a strong
desire to step out and experience more. I’m here to tell
you to stop waiting to explore all that life has to offer you
and go for it now!
Stop waiting for the perfect time and moment! Listen to
the Holy Spirit prompting and go. Receive instructions
and be free enough to do whatever God is leading you to
do. Be confident in knowing that if He leads you there
then HE will supply everything that you need, to support
your dream, vision, goal or plan. Follow his footsteps, I
guarantee He will not lead you astray!
