\"\"Have you ever had a \u2018powerful thirst\u2019?\u00a0 Can you remember the satisfaction of chugging a big drink of your favorite liquid flavor?<\/p>\n

As you live your life, have you become aware of a spiritual thirst, a desire for something more?\u00a0 It may surface something like this.\u00a0 \u201cIs this all there is?\u00a0 There has to be more to life. I hope there is more to life than this.\u201d<\/p>\n

If this is you, Jesus speaks to you in Rev. 22:17: \u00a0Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.<\/em> \u00a0This heavenly water is undervalued, generally scorned and unappreciated.\u00a0 The devil and the world have concocted an abundance of bogus brews nowadays and people keep chugging them down even though it leaves them thirsty and disappointed.\u00a0 But Jesus, the Living Water, it is the real deal. \u00a0Those who have been thirsty and continually sip of his water know how satisfying He is.\u00a0 What a horrific shame to stand by the water that gives life and refuse to drink it!<\/p>\n

O my friend, can you not hear the living water babbling in the brook and dripping from the rocks? It will refresh you and satisfy your eternal thirst.\u00a0 It\u2019s being offered to you right now.\u00a0 Come to Jesus and drink. \u00a0Call me and let\u2019s talk about it.\u00a0 618-377-7729. \u00a0Today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
