‘Whoever drinks this water will get thirsty again; but anyone who drinks the water that I shall give will never be thirsty again: the water that I shall give will turn into a spring inside him, welling up to eternal life.’
‘Sir,’ said the woman ‘give me some of that water, so that I may never get thirsty and never have to come here again to draw water.’
- John 4:13-15
I have heard sometime when I was much much younger that a regular human being can survive for weeks without food, but not without water. This would sure be the same with the spiritual life. We all know that our physical bodies would not survive without H20, yet many of us somehow seem to be too easily convinced that our spiritual lives need no water.
Are you thirsting spiritually? Are we suffering from spiritual dehydration? Have you sought out the Wellspring of Life? This period of self-denial gives us the perfect opportunity, not to inject ourselves with a 40-day holiness, but to kick-start (or re-ignite) a most important relationship.
