NO WATER

“O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is.”

Psalm 63: 1 King James Version

For over forty years I wandered in the dry and thirsty land of suicidal thoughts and crippling depression, until one day Jesus reached down His precious nail scarred hand to me and sat me on His lap of Love. He forgave me, cleansed me, saved me and gave me a new heart and a new life.

People have asked me why I say Jesus is my best friend all the time. It is because He is my best friend! He not only saved my soul and kept me from taking my life; He has never left me, not even for one minute. What kind of person would I be if I didn’t talk about Him all the time and shout His praises to everyone? Without Him, I would literally be dead and in hell today.

We don’t have to stay in the darkness of depression and suicidal thoughts. Jesus has given us a Love that is beyond compare. No one loves like our dear Saviour. We can take all the medicine in the world and that can help ease the pain temporarily. However, we have to take the medicine again and again.

When Jesus deposits His medicine of Love, forgiveness, mercy, tenderness, understanding, compassion, faithfulness, kindness and grace in our hearts, we are healed permanently. He also pours His refreshing joy and happiness in our hearts. Without Jesus, our hearts will always be dry and thirsty.

Have you asked Jesus to come into your heart, forgive you of your sins and save you? If so, then you are assured of a home in Heaven with Him. He is waiting for you with open arms.
