What fills you?

Last week one of our students said, "I just can't be happy.  I said, What?  He said, I just can't get happy."
Today, someone I love with all my heart knows how, through actions and attitude proclaimed the same truth.

All of this seems like perfect timing because yesterday during mentorship Bible Study, we talked about fulfillment.

In discipleship time with Terah I was able to share with her these truths and thoughts.
*Salvation does not equal Satisfaction
Inviting him in by faith, given as a gift from Him is not the same thing as being Satisfied by Him.

We receive Salvation by grace but we have to seek the other

We looked at the story of the Samaritan Women at the Well in John 4

We looked at her ultimate thirsts and the things she had tried to fill them with...it obviously wasn't satisfying her needs; and Jesus said He would.  We looked at how she replied that he didn't have a bucket for water - but that's because SHE was the bucket.  We are Christ's bucket...he wants to fill us and fulfill us (abundant life).  Complete us in him...Satisfy as we seek Him.

We closed with two more observations about that passage.
1. She went away excited that she had met a man that knew EVERYTHING about her.  Well, when your a lady that has been married 5 times then you probably wouldn't be too excited about someone knowing all your baggage (if you know what I mean!)
BUT when Jesus uncovers and reveals our junk, it's for excuse (forgive) and diffuse (The destructive bombs in our life)
Most of the time when man attempts to do the very same thing it's to accuse (judgement) and Satan is the great accuser-right?!

2.  At the beginning of the passage Jesus went to that well tired and needing a drink.  The disciples were even out getting food during this time.  After fulfilling the will of His Father in obedience during his time with this Samaritan women, we see at the end of the passage -John 4:31-33 that Jesus isn't even hungry anymore - it's like he's energized by the outpour of truth and love.
The very thought that not only does Christ fill our emptiness when we will seek streams of living water but that WE fill him when we respond to him in transformation, repentance,etc is totally amazing to me.

So, today Lord, I need you
I seek you and I pray for Holy energy...
You alone our God and may HoM, us, Haiti be satisfied by you...Revival!
