"THE THIRST" When I had thought life's thirsts too great for quenching, The yearnings of a soul, too strong to still, I saw the Living Waters flowing freely; And drinking deeply, knew my being's fill. Before the Throne of God I found fulfillment! For in that flow of Heaven's joy divine, I knew the rich infilling of the Spirit, And claimed that Holy effluence as mine. Within my soul, now springs a stream eternal, Which stems from God the Son, Who dwells above; My thirst, assuaged forever at that fountain, Has found the potion sweet of Jesus' love! ~ Poem By Constance Calenberg ~ Published in Our Hope Magazine, 1949. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Isaiah 44:3-4 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses. The Lord Jesus said in John 4:13-14 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. The Lord Jesus said in John 7:38: He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Isaiah 55:1 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. Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
