Lent Day 2

John 7:37

Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.”

This is an invitation from Jesus to everyone, to join Him in relationship to receive His grace, mercy, love and forgiveness.  Just as our bodies have a hunger and thirst for food and water, our souls have a hunger and thirst for spiritual needs.  

Psalm 42:1-2

As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.

Jesus is the source to fulfill that spiritual need and He is calling us to Him.  “Come to me and drink.”

To come to Jesus we have to spend time with Him to know Him and believe in who He is, study His word, spend time in prayer, listen for His direction, learn to trust in what He says and continually pursue our relationship with Him.  

John 4:14: 

“but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.  Indeed the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 

This is a promise to us from Jesus, that if we come to Him, our deepest spiritual needs will be satisfied forever. 

What are you doing today to come to Jesus? Are you keeping your focus on Him?

Grace and Peace to All,

LeAnn
