John 4:13-14 (King James Version) Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
There is only so much time for us on this earth, and only so much room in our hearts. There are only so many things we can do and only so many lives we can come into contact with. What shall we spend the hours of our day searching for, and what shall we seek beyond the living waters of the Lord? To fill our hearts with the desires of Heaven, the things of God, the cares of Christ, the love of humanity, the burden for the lost, the ache for the hurting-these are things that move us through this life and bring to us fulfillment-they are the things we shall carry into the next life as well. But if our hearts are filled with the cares of this life, material cares, self-concern (present and future), personal comfort, daily bread-if these things are what fill our hearts they are the things that are spent and will not last. We cannot take them with us into Heaven and they will leave us empty here on this earth.
Have A Blessed day
