Jesus told the woman at the well in John 4, "those who drink the water
that I will give them will never become thirsty again. In fact, the
water I will give them will become in them a spring that gushes up to
eternal life.” His Spirit that lives in us as believers is the water that makes this a reality.
Sometimes I find as Christians we live more in the pond or lake mentality rather than the river mentality.
The river mentality is described well in Keith Green song Scripture Medley.
The pond mentality is more like saying I will go to the well and stock up on Jesus, His life, His strength and then I will take that into the world.
We forget for a time that He said He would never leave us or forsake us. He said that He would be in us. There is no need to have a thought of being at the bottom of the bucket, needing to fill up again, not really. He loves when we get to the end of our rope, it is only then that we can live the way He intended, "by faith"
Water is so stale when it sits, God in You is meant to be lavishly spread everywhere you go. Go and do likewise.
James 4:14,
Camelot
