I’m obsessed with drinking water.
My water bottle comes wherever I go!
We live in a two-story home and whenever I’m ready to transition up or downstairs, my kids always make sure I have my water and my phone.
My youngest is actually very concerned when I don’t have my water bottle right next to me, and will go to find it and bring it to me. It’s cute.
So the analogy that Jesus uses here really resonates with me:
“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.” (Revelation 21:6)
How long can I go without reconnecting with my Savior?
Longer than I can go without a drink of water?
That’s a piercing question for me.
I want the Savior’s loving and peaceful influence in my life…
But do I always thirst for it?
I’m working on building that desire up on a consistent basis.
Instead of forgetting or avoiding prayers or scriptures…
I want to feel a longing and a necessity to not go without them.
Just as I wouldn’t go to bed without my water.
Some days I’m there.
But some days I’m not.
He promises that He will give the water to me FREELY once I desire it.
But I have to ask for it.
I have to want it in the same way I would want to quench my thirst.
I am grateful for a Savior who gives me what I desire.
But that means I have to work on what my desires really are.
Happy Studying!
