Mexico City is sinking. According to a New York Times article, "So much water has been pumped out from the aquifer beneath [the city] to satisfy [its] 18 million residents that the ground is collapsing at a stunning rate." The city has sunk 30 feet in the past century.

Is a similar thing happening to you spiritually? You've given so much to others that your energy is gone. You feel drained, depleted, as if your life is collapsing in on itself. What started as a noble venture to help thirsty people has become a journey through the desert for you.

Jesus said, "'If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, . . . out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.' But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive" (Jn. 7:37-39). Jesus painted a picture of abundant supply--not a trickle but rivers of living water produced by the Holy Spirit, who is given to everyone who trusts in Christ.

What are you thirsting for? Do you need the forgiveness and peace of God? Or do you need your spiritual reservoir replenished so you can refresh the parched souls around you?

Jesus invites all of us to find our deep satisfaction and inexhaustible supply in Him.  — David C. McCasland
