I Thirst
What am I really thirsting for??
I was imagining Jesus saying to each of us
I THIRST FOR YOU.
Come to Me, and I will fill your heart (Psalm 37:4) and heal your wounds. I will and make you a new creation, (2 Corinthians 5:17) and give you peace, even in all your trials, because I THIRST FOR YOU.
And I wonder do I really thirst the way Jesus wants me to thirst?
We must never doubt in Jesus’ mercy, Jesus’ acceptance of us, Jesus’ desire to forgive, Jesus’ longing to bless us and live Jesus’ life in us. Because Jesus THIRSTS FOR YOU AND ME.
If you and I feel unimportant in the eyes of the world, that matters not at all. For Jesus, there is no one more important in the entire world than you and me . JESUS THIRSTS FOR YOU AND ME.
Jesus says to each one of us everyday,
Open to Me, come to Me, thirst for Me, (John 7:37-38) give me your life – and I will prove to you how important you are to My Heart.
Don’t you realize that My Father already has a perfect plan to transform your life, beginning from this moment?
Trust in Me. Ask Me every day to enter and take charge of your life – and I will. I promise you before My Father in heaven (Luke 24:49)that I will work miracles in your life. Why would I do this? Because I THIRST FOR YOU.
And yet ,do I believe and thirst for my Jesus.
All Jesus is asking ask of you and me is that we entrust ourselves to Him completely and He will do all the rest.
Jesus speaks to us saying:
Even now I behold the place My Father has prepared for you in My Kingdom.
Remember each of us are a pilgrim in this life, on a journey home. Sin can never satisfy us, or bring the peace we seek. All that we have sought outside of Jesus, has only left us more empty, so you and I must not cling to the things of this life.
Above all, we must not run from Jesus when we fall. We should go to Jesus without delay and give all our sins. There is nothing that Jesus cannot forgive and heal; so come now, let us all unburden our soul.
We don’t need to change to believe in Jesus’ love, for it will be our belief in Jesus’ love that will change us. When we forget Jesus, yet Jesus is seeking you and me every moment of the day – standing at the door of our heart and knocking.
Do you find this hard to believe? Then look at the cross, look at Jesus’ Heart that was pierced for you and me. Listen again to the words Jesus spoke there – for they tell us clearly why He endured all this for us and says: “I THIRST…” (Jn 19:28)
Whenever we open the door of our heart, whenever we come close enough, we will hear Jesus say to us again and again, not in mere human words but in spirit:
“No matter what you have done, I love you for My own sake. Come to Me. with your misery and your sins, with your troubles and needs, and with all your longing to be loved. I stand at the door of your heart and knock. (Rev3:20) Open to Me, for I THIRST FOR EACH ONE OF YOU ….”
Prayer
Father, extreme thirst, being parched, is something I can relate to. But adding to the physical torment and exhaustion was the crushing spiritual aloneness. That is beyond my experience. Thank you for your love that conquered all to save us. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
