Every one of us is thirsty for something. We chase success, people, and possessions—hoping they’ll fill the ache in our soul. But no matter how much we drink, it’s never enough. That’s because our souls weren’t designed for substitutes. They were designed for Jesus. Psalm 63 says, “I thirst for You… my whole being longs for You.” And in John 4, Jesus tells us that only His living water can truly satisfy. Everything else—our achievements, relationships, even good things—are broken cisterns that can’t hold what we’re desperate for. So what do we do? We seek Him before anything else. We name the empty wells we’ve been running to. And we make space for His voice. Because the truth is simple: Jesus satisfies what success, stuff, and people never will.
