P. 71
but the water that I shall give him shall be in
him a well of water springing up into
everlasting life.” John 4:13, 14. By the living
water is meant the Holy Spirit. As a thirsty
traveler needs water to drink, so do we need
God's Spirit in our hearts. He who drinks of
this water shall never thirst.
The Holy Spirit brings God's love into our
hearts. It satisfies our longings, so that the
riches and honors and pleasures of this world
do not attract us. And it fills us with such joy
that we want others to have it too. It will be
in us like a spring of water, that flows out in
blessing to all around.
And every one in whom God's Spirit dwells,
will live forever with Christ in His kingdom.
Received into the heart by faith, it is the
beginning of the life eternal.
This precious blessing Christ told the woman
He would give her if she asked for it. So He
will give it to us.
