Come ThirstyThank You, Abba Father, for reaching out to me when I'm down in this pit.
Max Lucado
Deprive your soul of spiritual water, and your soul will tell you. Dehydrated hearts send desperate messages. . . . You think God wants you to live with these? Hopelessness? Sleeplessness? Loneliness? Resentment? Irritability? Insecurity? These are warnings. Symptoms of a dryness deep within. (11-12)
Internalize him. Ingest him. Welcome him into the inner workings of your life. Let Christ be the water of your soul. (14)
How is this done? By heeding your thirst. Don't dismiss your loneliness. Don't deny your anger. Your restless spirit, churning stomach, the sense of dread. . . these are signal flares exploding in the sky. . . . Don't let your heart shrink into a raisin. For the sake of those who need your love, hydrate your soul. Heed your thirst! (15)
