Drink and eat for free!

Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Isaiah 55:1

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How am I to "buy" when I don't have have any money???

How do I "drink" when my cup is empty?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Are you feeling empty today?

Are you longing for something that you do not have?

Are you weary from dreaming dreams without seeing them come to pass?

Are you tired of groaning prayers that seem to remain unanswered?

Are you discouraged from trying with all your effort and seem to be getting nowhere?

----------------------------------------------------

Jesus declared in John 6:35...

"
I am the bread of life.
He who comes to me
will never
go hungry,
and he who believes in me

will never
be thirsty.

--------------------------------------------------
Sometimes we get so busy "trying" to be the person we "think" we are SUPPOSED TO BE or "doing" the things we "think" we are SUPPOSED TO DO that we forget
to draw from the well of life- Jesus Christ.

If you are hungry, thirsty, cold, and weary from your journey, snuggle up with Jesus, and draw from the well of water that He offers. RESTING means to lean on...BE STILL means don't move...

Some of us are too busy "DOING" that we forget to just "BE"... We get too busy "DOING" the "Martha" role... that we need to be reminded to simply "BE" in the "Mary" role... sitting at the feet of Jesus and enjoying the presence of Jesus... instead of preparing for the arrival of Jesus... who is already there... next to you... as you read these words... simply waiting for you to be "un-busy" enough to enjoy His presence...

He's there... sitting next to you... wanting to tell you wonderful things... and waiting for you to put down the "broom" of "doing" & "BE" the heavenly "dustpan" that He desires to fill with refreshment, good things, and every good and perfect gift.

...for he satisfies the thirsty and
fills the hungry with good things.
Psalm 107:9

Thanks for the posts you've been posting. They've been very encouraging for me. I struggle so much with depression and anxiety and sometimes it is so hard to just be still and know that He is God. I am not alone. Thanks for the reminder.

So true, he talks to me a lot about being Mary and not Martha.

Just to sit at his feet and be with him.
