PRAY OVER THIS
“But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
PONDER THIS
Holiness is not the way to Christ; Christ is the way to holiness. You don’t work your way to the way. He is the way. Don’t get the idea that if you could live right, God would fill you with the Holy Spirit. You can’t live right until you are filled with the Holy Spirit. If you could be holy and live right in order to be filled, why do you need to be filled anyway?
God is not like a banker. Do you know how to get a banker to loan you money? Prove to him you don’t need any. Then he’ll loan you some. Well, God’s not that way. Come to Jesus. Don’t wait ‘till you’re better. Don’t wait ‘till you’re stronger. Bring your weakness. Bring your fears. Bring your failures. Bring your heartaches. Bring it all to Jesus. Jesus throws open His arms to you today and says, “Are you thirsty? Come to Me.” If we could only learn that! I’m not saying you come clinging to your sin. I’m not saying you come to Him with your fingers crossed behind your back. I’m not saying you come to Him while intending to cling to Satan and this world. Oh, no. Let go of everything but come to Jesus.
- When have you tried to get your life together to “be better” for Jesus? Why does this always fail?
- What happens when we depend on our own works instead of on Jesus to be close to God?
PRACTICE THIS
Talk to God and confess the broken parts of your life right now.

Jesus didn’t save you to remove every challenge or difficulty in your life but to conform you to His likeness so that you can enjoy true spiritual abundance and perfect fellowship with Him, and with other believers. He wants those who are His to live fully—all day, every day—from the moment He saves us on throughout eternity. He defined His purpose succinctly in John 10:10b: “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
