Streams of Living Water

God is so gracious and merciful that He offers us the living water of eternal life, yet time and time again we turn and take for ourselves broken cisterns full of stagnet, rancid, and dead water. So many times we turn to what the world offers us and will partake of that instead of the fresh living water that Christ offers. The living water that Christ offers is ever satisfying and eternal. I think the problem lies in the fact that we do not see the value of the living water and what Christ offers us. We do not see what the world offers us as only temporary but as what we need to satisfy us in the moment. We partake and later we remain thristy and unsatisfied because ultimately nothing this world or life can offer will ever satisfy us the way Christ (the provider of living water) will. The amazing thing to me is that no matter how many times we chose not to turn to Christ for our satisfaction, yet turn to our own broken cisterns, His streams of living water are never ceasing they are always there to revive us when needed. So may Christ's streams of mercies be never ceasing and lead to songs of loudest priase.
