Well Up in Me

"Men are in a restless pursuit after satisfaction in earthly things. They will exhaust themselves in the deceitful delights of sin, and, finding them all to be vanity and emptiness, they will become very perplexed and disappointed. But they will continue their fruitless search. Though wearied, they still stagger forward under the influence of spiritual madness, and though there is no result to be reached except that of everlasting disappointment, yet they press forward. They have no forethought for their eternal state; the present hour absorbs them. They turn to another and another of earth's broken cisterns, hoping to find water where not a drop was ever discovered yet."
~Charles Spurgeon

I have done this, hoping for a quenching of my thirst in what I can see, not accepting that everything in earth, though a gift from God for which to be thankful, will never take the place of fulfillment in Jesus the Christ.

Lord, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty and seek to draw from the well of everlasting disappointment. Father, grow in me a thirst for the Living Water, and let me, like the woman at the well, drop my earthly water pot and run to tell others about the Living Water, given to me by Jesus who satisfies unlike those broken cisterns that never produce a drop of lasting satisfaction.
