Drink More Water

If you have an ailment in our home, the first response you're likely to get is, "Drink more water." I've found that one of the best things the Crew can do, from tummy aches to headaches and everything in between... is to drink water. The kids even joke that if the house is on fire, you should drink more water!

Dear Christian, you need the same spiritual remedy. No matter your symptoms, what you need desperately is a drink of the Living Water. Jesus calls us from death to life at our conversion, then He continues to sustain us as we spend time knowing Him through reading the Bible and prayer.
Do you worry? Drink more Living Water.
Are you struggling with a tenacious sin? Drink more Living Water.
Do you struggle to find motivation to love those around you? Drink more Living Water.

Dear Christian, drink deeply from the Living Water-- and live!

 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock." Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
John 4:10-14

Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me." But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her."
Luke 10:38-42
