Today I will respond to the call of Christ and the Holy Spirit and “come”, come to true life and quench that insatiable thirst. Can such an invitation be more sincere, more clear, more appealing? How many more times must I hear it to respond? Pity those who thirst for no reason, for whom the free gift is not sufficiently expensive or exclusive.

Revelation 22:17
“Come,” says the Holy Spirit and the Bride (church) in divine duet. Let everyone who hears this duet join them in saying, “Come.” Let everyone gripped with spiritual thirst say, “Come.” And let everyone who craves the gift of living water come and drink it freely. “It is my gift to you! Come.” The Passion Translation

Odes of Solomon 30: 1-2
“Fill for yourselves water from the living spring of the Lord, because it has been opened for you. And come all you thirsty and take a drink, and rest beside the spring of the Lord.” 

Isaiah 55:1 
Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.
NIV

John 7:37 
On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 
NIV 

Today I will approach God’s altar to drink deeply and freely of His living waters.
