Thirst for God
We all thirst for God, whether we know it or not. And until our thirst is quenched by God, we will run from well to well and drink and drink and never quench our thirst. We will drink from the wells found in this world: food, money, pleasure, power, wealth, security; and we will still find ourselves thirsty.
