Ever feel parched? Dried up?
You know what I mean that empty and barren feeling?
If we are honest with ourselves I think we all could find the words to describe aridness.

California as many other states experienced a drought last summer.
We have a group of redwood trees in the front of our home that when the rains hit they drink deep from the saturated soil the vital moisture they need. Their trunks seem to stretch and expand as they absorb the life giving water.

We too need to be replenished…restored…revived.
To fill our dry wells of our souls with the life giving nourishment that we need.
Just like the weather, we can experience dry cycles that alternate with the cycles that replenish.
What causes this drought in our lives?
Isolation
Greed
Stubbornness
Illness
Selfishness
Death
Betrayal
The list could go on and on…
Is your tongue stuck to the roof of your mouth? So much so that you feel you cannot even utter a cry for help?
Guess what…here is the good news!
Refreshment is here the weather has changed in your favor.
Let your soul send your roots down deep and drink up the love and strength that is waiting for you
Lamentations 3:19-24
“The thought of my pain, my homelessness, is bitter poison.
I think of it constantly, and my spirit is depressed.
Yet hope returns when I remember this one thing:
The Lord's unfailing love and mercy still continue,
Fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise.
The Lord is all I have, and so in him I put my hope.”
(GNT)

Be restored…
Prayer:
Dear Lord,
I need you to fill me back up…I know that you are just a prayer away
so I call upon your Holy Name for you to answer…
not how I want…
but what you know I need.
Thank you for your faithfulness.
Amen.
Some of you may say, “But I do not believe in God”.
Here is a fact that you may have over looked…
He believes in YOU!
John 3:16,
“God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die.”
