It seemed like a great deal: two 1 liter bottles of premium water for $4. When I reached into the convenience store cooler they were ice cold, almost dripping with condensation. “Oh, these look good!” I thought.
But back in the car, one drink told the whole truth: looks can be deceiving. The “premium” water tasted like plastic, a sure sign the bottles had been left out in the hot sun. Thus the bargain.
Yuck!
Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, by and eat! Come buy wine and milk without money and without cost.
Isaiah 55:1 (NIV)
God offers free water, too—the premium variety—and with no yucky after taste.
Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked and he would have given you living water.”
John 4:10 (NIV)
Kind reader, since God is generous, we can be generous. I close with a word from the man himself:
Freely you have received, freely give.
Jesus, Matthew 10:8 (NIV)
Thank you for reading. 🙏❤️ prayers and love.
