The Holy Spirit is a living gift — dynamic and powerful, not
static and lifeless. While we may not be able to take in the full drink of this
blessing now, the life we receive and the hope the Holy Spirit gives and the
assurance of sharing in the great blessings with the Father forever are more
than anything comparable in this life.

God's Holy Fire
Jesus said, "Everyone
who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the
water I give will never thirst — not ever. The water I give will be an artesian
spring within, gushing fountains of endless life." —
John 4:13-14 MESSAGE
"Gushing
fountains of endless life" really captures Jesus' message here.
These fountains correspond with "the river of the water of life" and "springs of living water" in other places in John's
writings (Revelation 22:1, 7:17).
The Spirit is a living
gift — dynamic and powerful, not static and lifeless.
While we may not be able
to take in the full drink of this blessing now, the life we receive and the
hope the Spirit gives and the assurance of sharing in the great blessings with
the Father forever are more than anything comparable in this life.
Remember these words from what Jesus offers: "never thirst ... artesian spring
within ... gushing fountains ... endless life."
These promises are what
the Holy Spirit means to us and what the Spirit of the Living God brings to our
lives.
They bring the hope and
power that the Spirit of Christ gives to us and makes alive in us!
Today's Prayer
Thank you,
heavenly Father, for the Holy Spirit!
I want to drink
deeply of this living water and recognize the gushing fountains of endless life
that the Spirit brings.
Come, O Holy
Spirit, with your refreshing and flowing waters and satiate my dry and brittle
soul and enable me to recognize the grace that is mine in Jesus.
In his name, I
pray.
Amen.
