We found the man crumpled in the sand. After days of stumbling across the desert, his eyes were dim from sun blindness, his skin parched and peeling.
“Let me help you,” I said, offering my flask. “Let me tell you about Jesus. Drink His water and you’ll never thirst again…”
The man flung the precious flask to the ground . “I don’t need your water… or your Savior!” he spat. And, as we watched in horror, he took off across the blazing dunes, determined to follow his own blind path.
We wept – Jesus and I – as we watched him go.

Sadly enough, some people are so filled with hate and hurt they turn love away repeatedly. It’s very sad. We can only hope and pray that they’ll be helped before it’s too late. I try never to judge. Only God knows theirs hearts and minds. Good, though sad, story with a lesson for us all. — Suzanne

This is so true, Suzanne… if we continue to patiently reach out to them, one day they might just come around. Glad you stopped by!

Jesus said “Come” to the waters and drink. Praying more will come and not step back from the springs of living water.
