So, I came across this post I made from over two years ago. The words jumped off the screen and pierced my heart…further convicting me. Insightful. Real. Raw. These words spoke to a part of me I think we all have. I had written these words at the lowest point in my life. It so clearly made me realize how much I heard God in my season of pain. In the darkness He illuminated my brokenness allowing me to see my desperate need for Him. He embraced me with His loving presence and revealed to me His heart. In turn this opened my eyes to my heart and where I was standing.

I feel often times we are living to fill a void. We forget to check ourselves and what our motives are. Enticed by this world and the instant gratification it offers. We accept love through likes, follows, and material things. We allow this world to tell us what we are worth. We become too lazy to seek the lasting love through our Fathers words. We all too quickly allow the distractions of this world to lead us to this place again. This place we never wanted to be. This instant attraction and love affair with social media or the things we encounter in day to day life has left us empty and desperate. We begin to lose ourselves and become unsure of our true worth and identity. What this world has to offer cannot sustain or satisfy this thirst we have. We were created by God for God. We have a longing in our hearts which can only be filled by Him. Colossians 1:16 “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.” A dry well cannot provide water for those who thirst. This world cannot tell you who you are. The ever changing standards will give you whiplash. You will get lost in the shuffle and soon after forget who God created you to be.

If you seek God and His word to fulfill you, then you will never thirst. You won’t need that instant gratification you seek. You will have a deep wellspring overflowing and His word will satisfy your heart. You will not be deceived for you will know you are fully loved. Trust Jesus with your heart and allow Him to move. You are His precious jewel the desire of His heart. Stop seeking to be filled from these dry places. The Lord spoke to me and said “Stagnant water dries up and goes nowhere.” Do not be stagnant. Do not seek fulfillment in these dead things keeping you stuck. Anything that we seek above or before God serves as a dry well. Though it may seem that we get the validation we desire it is short lived. Leaving us wanting more. Soon these things we base our worth and value off of will fade away. Likes, followers, and material things this world values will all disappear. So, do not seek these dry wells to tell you who you are. For just as quickly as they came they will soon dry up. Instead seek the word of God and never thirst again. John 4:14 “but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

Remember You are Fearfully Made ❤
