He said to me: "It is done. I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty, I will give water without cost from the spring of the Water of Life. Revelation 21:6 NIV
POEM: "LIFE-GIVING WATER" (extract) - by Dave Hopwood.
Life leaves us thirsty, longing for more.
And in the parched streets
and arid busyness, a single voice cries out,
'Let anyone who is thirsty come to Me,
whether rich or poor,
happy or sad,
satisfied or frustrated,
privileged or marginalized.
Young or old, wanted or unwanted,
sick or healthy,
full of faith or wrestling with doubt.'
Life leaves us thirsty, longing for more.
And in the parched streets
and arid busyness, a single voice cries out,
'The water I give will become a life-giving spring,
welling up to eternal life.
Offering purpose, meaning, hope, and direction.
So come to Me and drink, and from your being will flow rivers of living water,
streaming out to those around.'

Worship & Prayer
You, Lord JESUS, are the spring of Living Water who quenches every thirst in my soul. For many years, I drank from the waters of this world that left my heart arid and thirsting for more like a dry desert. I recall what You shouted to the crowd at the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles when You said; "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: 'Streams of living water will flow from within him.' " I ask You to please make me this day a source of Your living water that refreshes family members and people in the marketplace who are spiritually dead and dry. Use me, O Lord, to point them to YOU.
