What We Really Thirst For
It’s common knowledge that we don’t drink enough water. The body thirsts for water because it requires it to sustain life, cleanses itself, and invigorate activity. The thirst for this water will continue as long as we live. We have only to open the faucet or purchase bottled water.
It’s less common to know that there is another type of thirst that is equally critical for life and this is the thirst for living waters. Living waters sustain the spirit within, provide a peace that cannot be understood, usher us to a life of true abundance, and help us walk through the difficulties of life with purpose. The wellspring of living waters is Christ.
Both waters are essential for life. For one, we will always thirst. For the other, we shall never thirst. So, as a way to consider both, whenever we put a glass under the faucet or twist the cap off a bottle of plain water, remember to refresh yourself with living waters.
There is one further benefit to living waters. As we drink of living waters we become springs to others.
John 4:13-14
Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

My friend, Sebastian, writes a daily blog to his 7 grandchildren. He has been doing this for years without interruption. With profound clarity and simplicity, Sebastian applies Holy Scripture in a way that makes sense to his grandchildren. He has allowed me to share his writings, below.
“……and every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.
(Acts 5:42)
How powerful is the life Jesus? At every mass, every day we learn and understand who He was, why He lived and how He impacts our lives.
This is real! It’s not made up! His works are not only to be believed, but accepted as fact, as they were witnessed during His time on earth. That’s exactly why we know there is a God, living in us through the Holy Spirit. So each day recognize God’s miracles on the faces of the people you see each day.
