Thirst

 Thirst

Thirst

I go to the well because I need water

I have a thirst

Thirst 

But for many more things than just water

Thirst for Love and acceptance

and not to be frowned upon

and a thirst for things I don't know yet that I need

like my sins be washed away

and for eternal life

I go to the well at noon

so that on seeing me, no one from town would frown

I meet Someone new there

He asks me for a drink of water

and then offers me water

.... a different kind.

A discussion was held

about worship, and the Messiah to come

His to the point, but compassionate revealing of me

left me wondering if perhaps He is the Messiah

(John 4 & John 7)
