Rivers of Living Water

"He who believes in Me [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Me], as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of living water."  - John 7:38 AMP

In this passage Jesus promises the Living Water. When He said, “living water,” He was speaking of the Holy Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in Him. Have you ever felt extremely parched under a hot, sunny day when all you can think of is a glass of a cold drink? And somehow, someone suddenly hands you a glass of a cold drink –  a sip of your favorite slushy and it just quenches your thirst that you even end up sharing the experience with someone and that drink that brought you “back to life” suddenly becomes everybody’s favorite.

Same goes when we meet Jesus and have a true encounter with the Holy Spirit. Only the Lord can satisfy your thirst. One drop is never enough. You want an overflow of His presence. You keep on coming back for more. When you're full, nothing can stop you from sharing how good the encounter is. Everyone you run into would have the same desire and seek that drink. Your passion creates a hunger and thirst in someone's heart.

Just like in John 4 where Jesus promised to the Samaritan woman at the well that she  will never thirst again after drinking the living water, you too, would be a vessel of the overflow of His presence. Take Jesus’ Word for it, trust and rely on Him that the living water that He offers can sustain us in this life.  After her encounter with Jesus, she becomes a witness - she brings the message to the whole village and all of them believe. Just imagine how many vessels were created and have been poured into by just a single sip of the living water.

Have you tried this living water, kapatid? If not, seek the Lord at siguradong ipapatikim ng Panginoon ang tubig na nagbibigay-buhay sayo and for sure, you will tell the world about it too.
