I do not know about you but for many years I labored in vain. I gave so much of my life to this world. I tried my hardest to live the "American Dream". I had a list of things I needed to achieve and have in order to be happy and content. I'd work more, buy more and was trying so hard to be a better me. I bought self help books and was trying to unlock the key and meaning to life. I looked for it in my family and that even failed me. No matter where I looked I still found nothing to fill the void in my heart. I just felt more and more empty. Finally I came to a place where I said "there must be more then this to life, otherwise life just isn't worth living!" Yes I had thoughts of suicide and I already was walking in self destructive behaviors such as an eating disorder and engaging in alcohol to the point of no remembrance.
This world lies to us and convinces us that things and ourselves can bring satisfaction, I am here to tell you they don't! True satisfaction come's from the one who offers living water. Water, that will cause us to never grow thirsty again. This water will cause us to not want to drink from the fountain of this world that for many years has ripped us off. Rather this water brings contentment and a life that will last into eternity.
I just feel like someone needs to know that they can freely come and drink from the fountain of living water and be forgiven In Christ Jesus! The enemy has beaten you up long enough, you do not have to take the beating any longer. You don't have to hide behind the lies of this world. It is okay to accept that you or anyone else can not bring you happiness and satisfaction! To my friend who is sick and tired of being sick and tired then this invitation is for you.
"Come You to the water you who thirst and you'll thirst no more!" -Jesus
