The Bible says Jesus loves us.

If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
—John 7:37

Scripture reading: John 7:37–8:12
Most of us have seen water baptism in action so often that
we know what it means. But I want you to see that God‘s
very great desire is for you to be covered with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He wants you to be so immersed with the
light and revelation of the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, that your whole body will be not only filled but also covered over until you walk in the presence of the power of God.

Jesus saw all the people at the Feast of Tabernacles, and He not only had a great ability to scrutinize, to unfold the inward
thoughts and intents of the heart, but He also saw things at a
glance; He took in a situation in just a moment‘s time.
We must not forget that He was filled with the Holy Spirit. He
was lovely because He was full of the divine inflow of the life of
God. Look at how He dealt with this situation. He saw the people
who had been at Jerusalem at the feast, and they were coming back
dissatisfied. My Lord could never be satisfied when anybody was
dissatisfied.
Nowhere in Scripture is it recorded that you should be fa
mished, naked, full of discord, full of evil, full of disorder, full of
sensuality, or full of carnality. That was what was taking place at
the feast, and they came away hungrier than they were before. Je
sus saw them like that, and He said, ―„Ho! Everyone who thirsts,
come to the waters‟ (Isa. 55:1). Come to Me, you who are thirsty,
and I will give you drink.‖
Oh, the Master could give! The Master had it to give. Beloved,
He is here to give, and I am sure He will give.
Yes, the heavy hand of God is full of mercy. The two-edged
sword is full of dividing. (See Hebrews 4:12.) His quickening Spirit
puts to death everything that needs to die so that He might trans
form you by the resurrection of His life.
Thought for today: The death of Christ brings forth the life of
Christ.
