My Journey with God

 

Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst.

(John 4:14, NIV)

 

“Stacey, God told me you have to go to Ghana!” was the outburst from our student missions director, Jodi Cahill.

 

I prayed about it that night and the next morning, and I was convicted to go. I had tried to go on mission trips before, but had never been successful in actually going. Before that day, my reasons revolved around helping people, not about me and God. This time was different. God made me His mission; I realized that God had arranged for me to go. He knew that if it was only about helping people for my emotional well-being I would’ve ended up feeling responsible to “save” all of them myself and I would’ve come back more discouraged than ever.

 

While in Ghana, I discovered that God makes what seems impossible possible. Preaching every day for three weeks and twice on Saturday was a lot of work – it was overwhelming. But a river of living water flowed into my dry, thirsty soul each time. By the second day I was overflowing. The Holy Spirit revived me and made me whole. My experience called for a lot of spiritual preparation, a lot of one-on-one time with God, and definitely some introspection.

 

I learned that God alone is the source of fulfillment. “For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal” (2 Cor. 4:18, NIV). I tried for so long to find fulfillment on my own, but I couldn’t. The things of this world, including human relationships, leave us yearning for more. Only Christ can quench one’s thirst.

 

Take it from someone who was dying inside. Jesus said, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water… But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst.” (John 4:10-14, NIV).

 

He’s calling you to experience Him fully, whether it’s through a mission trip, more of those one-on-one talks, or anything that is pressing on your heart. So what do you think? Are you thirsty? He is awaiting your response.
