info_outlineThirst is a common experience of human life. We need water, and we have all experienced the physical sensation that tells us what we need:
- to live
- to thrive
- to be alive
The same is true for our souls, when we feel the thirst - the longing - for something in our hearts. In our need Jesus Christ comes to us - with the living water that restores us to life.
