• I want you to imagine something. Let's think that we are out
in the desert and it is very hot and dusty. No one is about, not even
a shop in sight. You have been out in the sun for most of the day. What
would be the first thing you would seek (Water)
• Do you know why we have water restrictions? Do you know what the
current ones are as to what you are allowed to water or not (Discuss)
• Why do you think they call water "Liquid Gold" (Discuss)
• My dog Aussie the other day kept annoying me by pushing his nose
into my leg and moving away. He kept doing this until I followed him.
Guess where he took me?
• It was to his water bowl that was empty as I had forgotten to
fill it from a day or so ago. When I did, he drank and drank and drank.
I am sure Aussie thought he too was drinking liquid gold.
• Without water we would die.
• Today in the special reading we are reminded that a Christian
we would shrivel up if we did not have the love of Jesus in our heart.
We would just dry up.
• Aren't we lucky that we know God loves us, and that as a Christian
we have a thirst for his love. (Comment)
• Like the love we get from Mum and Dad and those special cuddles,
we thirst for their attention and love.
• A Christian thirsts for God in the same way.
