THIRST FOR GOD<br />
“Let whoever who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of<br />
life freely.“ (Rev. 22:17)<br />
This is a passage about desire and thirst, at the end of the Book of<br />
Revelation, at the very end of the New Testament.<br />
I have many, varying desires and wants and needs every day. At times<br />
there is unfulfilled desire and unfulfilled ambition. Sometimes I can’t<br />
even identify what it is that I desire. It’s just a hole in my heart.<br />
Let me identify that it is God, the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, Who is lacking<br />
in my heart. Let me take small steps, in brief, daily prayer, to ask Him to<br />
come and abide in me, so that I may not thirst like this, constantly. Let<br />
me hear Jesus say to me, as He says to the Samaritan woman, “whoever<br />
drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water<br />
that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up<br />
into everlasting life.” (Jn 4:14) Because I can take this water “freely,” as<br />
did she. Not because I am “worthy,” or for any other reason. But because<br />
I desire it, and ask for it, as did she.<br />
