If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink ....... Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. - John 7:37 - 38

We all know that when hunger and thirst strike, we do need food and liquid. Our bodies are made to depend on air, food and water. Any deficiency of each of these would render the body to react poorly. On the other hand, too much impure food or liquid would equally damage the body.

Spiritually too, the dearth of holiness would grieve our heart and soul. We need to safeguard ourselves from allowing unwelcome spirit to fill the gaps that we unwittingly left them available to wrong desires. Remember that our Lord would send His Holy Spirit to replace His presence. Our heart can never be half filled or half empty. Jesus will provide His overflowing love that is sufficient to let us have life abundantly. 

Christ departed so that the Holy Spirit could be imparted.
