“To the thirsty I will give a gift from the spring of life-giving water” Revelation 21:6
Is my soul thirsty for the Lord? Or am I content with where I am spiritually? If I’m satisfied with what I have now, then there would be no need for this gift from God, this spring of life-giving water. Scripture doesn’t say that everyone will receive this gift, only the thirsty, those who realize something is missing and can feel the aching in their souls. This thirst can be quenched by nothing other than our Lord; we need to stop trying to satisfy it with things of this world. We are not meant for this world. Our thirst needs to be strong enough to keep pushing us towards Him. We can never be satisfied with where we are spiritually, we should constantly be striving for more, that thirst never quite being fully satisfied. Jesus didn’t come to help those who felt satisfied, the ones who were content with who they were. He came to change those who know they are meant for something more. If we don’t have a constant thirst for our Lord, then there is no room for his gift of life-giving water and our souls will be dry for eternity.
