Jesus was always thirsty
to ladle up another cup
filled with living water
for yet another parched
tongue.
Why am i
so less inclined,
seeking most to wet
my own drying mouth?
Jesus had to go to meet
the woman at the well,
had to serve up another
cup
as a dry, dry land awaited.
Why am i
no less driven,
steering clear of pouring
myself into deep, dry wells?
Our own Samaria's sizzle
on down the road
and we do have to go my
friends;
Dear Lord Jesus, hear our
prayer:
Make us thirsty just like
You.
John 4 |
