He is enough. You're meant to draw your life from inside you, not from around you. The key to peace, the end of roller coaster living, is to depend on the spring of water welling up inside of you. And that's the identity Christ can give you. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/stuck-in-the-on-position-6388 2011-07-07T09:48:19-05:00 Life really becomes an adventure when you open up your day to God's sovereign matching of you with people. You pray, "Lord, use my everyday activities to put me in the path of someone who needs me and who needs You." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/oscars-and-empty-houses-6341 2011-05-03T09:51:25-05:00 Think about these words, "Thirsty again." See, that's the problem with every "well" we go to for satisfaction in life - we inevitably end up "thirsty again." For this woman, every relationship - every guy - had been a well that left her empty inside. But then Jesus said, "Every one who drinks of the water I give him will have in him a well springing up to everlasting life" (John 4:13 ). Wow! http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%207:37&version=NIV 2009-08-12T09:58:34-05:00 The salvation and spiritual nourishment that Jesus offers is compared to a stream of life-giving water--sufficient to quench our thirst.
