John 7:37-39
On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."
But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Greetings Bible Enthusiast!
There are many wonderful blessings most of us enjoy that have become so commonplace we have a tendency to take them for granted. Things like clean, running water that we can adjust to just the right temperature with a simple flick of the wrist; warmth in the winter and coolness in the summer; every type of food that one can possibly imagine, fresh and neatly packaged, as close as the nearest grocery store...
The list goes on and on. We miss them most when we don't have them! Praise God for those everyday blessings; may the Lord help us to be truly grateful!
God Bless You!
