What do you thirst for?

We live in a time when we can look around us and see the dire thirst of the world around us.  We find ourselves in a world filled with many tempting waters said to satisfy any thirst. And yet, our chorus seems to be closer to the old song: “I can’t get no satisfaction.” In Jeremiah it is said that the people had erred in two ways they had forsaken God, the living water, the source.  Secondly, they had built their own cisterns, ones that were faulty; full of leaks.  Jesus once asked two men who were following him, “What do you want?” It is a question I believe he still bids us to answer. What is it you thirst for? What is your heart’s deepest desire? Is the world you have created to manufacture life and happiness working?  Are you in an unending cycle of grasping and clinging for life that is always seeping out of your grasp?
