"Hey, want a bottle of water for the road?"
We've had some brutal heat this summer mixed in with a lot of rain. It's on the hot days that I always ask the mailman, the UPS person, the guy hired to cut the neighbor's yard--"hey, how about some water?" One FEDEX person in particular looked like he hit an oasis! These people dash through through their tasks because they must meet a schedule. Suddenly, somebody recognizes them as a person. Let me tell you. They already have found the living water that Jesus talks about. In the deepest places of the spirit--we need to be recognized and affirmed to be reminded of our God given worth--made in God's image. And by the way, I drank deeply also by offering the water and recognizing who was standing before me at the door. "Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these--you have done it to me." (Matt 25:40ff)
Try it just once.
See what thirst it quenches in you!
