C. H. Spurgeon · Modern retelling

"Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst." — John 4:14 · KJV

He who believes in Jesus finds enough in his Lord to satisfy him now and content him for evermore. The believer is not the man whose days are weary for want of comfort, and whose nights are long for lack of a cheering thought; for he finds in his faith such a spring of joy, such a fountain of consolation, that he is content and happy. Put him in a dungeon, and he will find good company; place him in a barren wilderness, and he will eat the bread of heaven; drive him from human friendship, and he will meet the "friend that sticketh closer than a brother." Blast all his gourds, and he will find shade beneath the Rock of Ages; undermine his earthly hopes, and his heart will still be fixed, trusting in the Lord. The heart is as insatiable as the grave until Jesus enters it; then it is a cup full to overflowing. There is such fullness in Christ that He alone is the believer's all. The true saint is so completely satisfied with the all-sufficiency of Jesus that he thirsts no more — except for deeper drafts of the living fountain. In that sweet way, believer, you shall thirst; it will be no thirst of pain, but of loving desire, and you will find it a sweet thing to pant after a fuller enjoyment of Jesus' love. One of old said, "I have often sunk my bucket down into the well, but now my thirst for Jesus has grown so insatiable that I long to put the well itself to my lips and drink right on." Is this your heart's feeling now, believer? Do you feel that all your desires are satisfied in Jesus, and that you have no want now but to know more of Him and have closer fellowship with Him? Then come continually to the fountain, and take of the water of life freely. Jesus will never think you take too much, but will ever welcome you, saying, "Drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved."
