Running on Empty

When you ride a motorcycle, you notice things that you don't always see from a car.

This past weekend we were coming out of Raleigh and stopped at a light.  I notices a car ahead of us open their door and pour out the contents of what looked like a cup of soda.

As we sat at the light, I could see the small stream of liquid make its way toward me as gravity aided its decent. 

I thought, "that little stream of soda had to leave a small part of itself along the way, but soon there will be nothing left. It would just stop flowing and eventually dry up."

Our lives can feel that way at times. That's why we have to stay close to the source of true life and follow his leadings, in this way, you will never run dry.

"On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, "Anyone who is thirsty may come to me!  Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, 'Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.'" (When he said "living water," he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him. But the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet entered into his glory.)" John 7:37 - 39 (NLT)
