Thirsty?

Picture this:  It’s a warm summer day and you just finished one of the best hot dogs you have ever eaten; complete with mustard and sauerkraut.  You were thirsty before you ate the hot dog, but now you are absolutely parched.  You want a glass of cool water.  Perhaps a glass of water with ice cubes and a sprique of mint.  Just as you place the cup under the water dispenser you see it is full, but the water comes out luke warm.  What a disappointment.  There is no way this is going to quench your thirst.  When you reach for God’s word, it is never just luke warm.  It always satisfies. (John 4:14) But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life."
