Muddy water

Jesus is the living water and is the only one who can satisfy all our longings. I was created with a longing, a thirst in my life, that nothing on earth can satisfy.

I cant help but think of the Samaritan woman in John 4:7-15. Unclean, an outcast. Jesus is incredible. The woman knows how unclean, such an outcast she is, and pretty much is asking Him if he was so thirsty that He was willing be made unclean. But Jesus pretty much says its not of His thirst but because of ours.

If I really trust God, together we draw up water and its clean and blessed. But when I bring in other things to satisfy my thirst, its muddy water. When i seek other things, my life is muddy water.

I keep drudging up the muddy water. Right now I question myself, am I looking to anything but Jesus to fulfill me and make me feel whole and satisfied? I think I might be...

This thirst I have, I cannot be satisified. The only way I will satisfy this thirst is to rely on Christ. Only through Him, can I truely be satisfied.

The song that comes to mind...The River by Chris Tomlin.

When I was held up in chains
The river was free
When I was covered in stains
The river was clean
When I was losing my way
The river found me
I can see the river
I can feel the river
I'm letting go of all I hold onto
Let it wash away
When we were broken inside
The river was love
When we were thirsty and dry
You were more than enough
When we were drowning in lies
The river saved us
I'm dancing in the river
And I'll be here forever
I'm letting go of everything but You
Carry me away
Carry me away...
