Today’s reading is John 7:32-53
“On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'” Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.”
John 7:37-39 ESV

All,
This stands out because Jesus says, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'” The Fruit of the Spirit is the end game of what we all desire here. Christians and non Christians. The difference is Christian’s know it’s from the Holy Spirit and non-Christians believe it comes from some other god where one can “earn” it or worldly “success”. God gives us “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control”. We cannot earn it or get it from some worldly pursuit. Please pray that we and our friends seek the living water today. Please pray for Michelle, Nichole, Torrie and Annie Thrash.
