Thus said our blessed Lord. He also said, “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled,” “for He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.” We read that our Savior also said that “if any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. He that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” “Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.” Our reaction ought to be that “I stretch forth my hands unto Thee: my soul thirsteth after Thee, as a thirsty land.” “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?” And His answer is that “I will pour water upon him that is thirsty,” and “the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought ... and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.”
He, the Fount of living waters,
Bids us come to Him and take;
He will quench our deepest longings;
He our deepest thirst will slake.
