Come Drink Freely


The woman had came to the well, little did she know who she would meet that day. Her need or want at that moment was to simply fill her water pot and be about her business.  Anyway, why would this Jewish man ask her for a drink?  Then even stranger, say if she had known who he was she would have asked him for a drink. If she had asked (would ask) he would have given her living water...  (John 4:7-10)

As a counselor, I offer hear people say "if only God would speak to me".  So often I have prayed that people would hear the Holy Spirit speaking into their lives. He speaks through His Word, through others, through our circumstances, through our heart's yearning and so many other ways. 

I am reminded today that the Holy Spirit does come to us, wooing and courting us.  In a sense, God makes us yearn for a better way, a better life. 

Let me leave us with two things I believe that God has given me.

"If we are Christ followers, then He is in every part (every place, every step) of our lives. We must simply learn to acknowledge His presence."

And as I said earlier - the Holy Spirit does come to us, wooing and courting us but... He will not force Himself upon us.  Jesus waited to be asked by the woman at the well. Only if we ask Him can we be given the living water. 

An Old saying that we might apply here: 

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

We must choose to both ask and drink what He so freely offers us.


Going to get myself a drink of that Living Water,

  1. Yes, wonderful truth about the person and presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. This week I talked about Romans 8:26 - that great promise that the Holy Spirit utters prayers for us with groanings too deep for words. I am especially thankful for that when I cannot seem to find words to say.

    Joining you in a big drink of Living Water!!

    GOD BLESS!

  8. Can the fastest Mini ever keep up with the best hatchback in history? ผลบอลย้อนหลัง

    If you see a first-generation Mini Cooper (the reboot, not the original Austin Mini) driving the streets, your first thought is likely to be something along the lines of, "Wow, Minis really used to be mini!" While that's much less true today, the Mini is still among the smallest of hatchbacks you can buy, and small often equates to sporty when the right equipment is piled on. Now Mini has released its fastest vehicle ever, the new John Cooper Works GP, piled high with performance upgrades. Just 3,000 will be built.

    Under the hood, you'll find a turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 301 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque. Those are very solid figures for a hatchback of any kind, let alone a smallish one; compared to the Honda Civic Type R, the new Mini JCW GP is down five horses, but up 36 lb-ft—and the new GP makes 74 horsepower more than the old GP. Paired with the JCW GP's eight-speed automatic transmission with mechanical limited-slip differential, zero to 62 mph takes just 5.2 seconds. Top speed? A brisk 164 mph—and no, that's not electronically limited; it's just the top speed the car can reach. ผลบอล7mคะแนน


    Mini gets the extra power out of the 2.0-liter turbo four by dropping the compression ratio from 10.2:1 to 9.5:1 and cranking up the boost, courtesy of a new turbocharger integrated directly into the exhaust manifold. A new intake tract also improves airflow for greater power and responsiveness. Fuel is delivered by a direct-injection system, now upgraded with centrally located injectors with multiple holes for higher fuel flow. To preserve all of this high-power tech, Mini also upgrades the JCW GP's oil sump, increasing the volume and improving the geometry to ensure oil pressure at higher g loads. Thanks to all of this engineering, the Mini JCW GP makes peak torque from 1,750 rpm through 4,500 rpm, and peak power from 5,000 to 6,250 rpm.
