"I thirst" were one of the last words
of christ on the cross. It happens at
the height of all troubles, having been
chastized, bruized, mocked and bled
and soffocating on the cross. Christ
felt a sudden urge of water, simple.

Water tends to have a calming effect
at the most tribulous of times.
There comes a time in every persons
life when all hell as broken lose and
the most urgent need for a person is
not vengeance, payback or anyother
thing but just rest, a spring of water
from deep within our soul to give us
back that fighting spirit. This is a time
of thirst. This would be the water, a
refreshment of the soul. Water has
that ability to make the tiredness of
all the cells of the body ease.

The thirst for water exists in the
spiritual realm too. When it is a season
of war and all that comes at you seems
to weigh further on your spirit, when
you even wake up more tired than you
slept, you need water. Spiritual water
only can quench such a thirst.
Spiritual quenching of thirst is done
spiritually - by what Christ refered to
as "living waters". The waters have to
have life to make any impact on a
spiritual level. With Christ dwelling
inside man, the spirit becomes a
fountain. This fountain is not
permanent, the water runs low. At least in this age. Times when this fountain becomes dry are times of thirsting, one that can only be quenched by Christ Himself.
