Thirsty
"I thirst." Mother Theresa said that these words propelled her forward into the creation of an order of nuns who served the poorest of the poor, the neglected and the dying. These nuns took a vow of simple living. When Jesus speaks to us, how do we respond? Are we prompted into action? Does His voice stir up compassion? There was a popular Gospel song some years ago that expressed a great truth: "Everything that Jesus did was for someone else!" As Christians, followers of Christ, we should be living a life of giving. It behooves each of us to study the life of Christ very closely. Christianity is not a doctrine, but a way of life. Jesus was a Jew, but He was an extraordinary Jew in that Love outweighed the Law. Christianity simply means that we are called to be extraordinary human beings who Love more than we do anything else. I'm thirsty. Will you go to the well and give me a drink of living water?
