Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, back in the day there was a song titled – Running on Empty.by Jackson Browne    LINK = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKnnh8VDULs  Is your emotional tank needle way past the E?

AS IT IS WRITTEN IN  John 7:38

Now on the last and most important day of the feast, Jesus stood and called out [in a loud voice],

If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink! He who believes in Me [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Me], as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of Living Water’!

Also WRITTEN IN   John 4:14

Jesus answered her,

Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks the water that I give him will never be thirsty again. But the water that I give him will become in him a spring of Water [satisfying his thirst for God] welling up [continually flowing, bubbling within him] to Eternal Life.

The woman said to Him, Sir, give me this water, so that I will not get thirsty nor [have to continually] come all the way here to draw.

Dear ones, here is a modern-day analogy that represents this concept of our emotional tanks running on empty.

The whole world paused this morning.

Do you know why? Because an 8-year-olds TANK WAS EMPTY.

The boys had already started their school day at their desks, and I was preparing to leave for work when I noticed my littlest standing in the bathroom wiping his face.

I paused at the door and asked if he was okay. He looked up with tears silently dripping and shook his head.

When I questioned if something happened, again he shook his head.

So I sat on the side of the tub and pulled him in my lap.

I told him sometimes our heart tanks feel empty and need to be refilled.

He cried into my chest, and I held him tight.

I asked if he could feel my Love filling him up?

A nod, and tears stopped...   I waited a minute...

Has it reached your toes yet?   He shook his head NO...

Okay man. We will take as long as you need. Work doesn’t matter right now.

School isn’t important either. This right here, is the most important thing today, okay?

Filling you back to the top. Is that good?

He *nods* Okay one more minute...

Is your heart full of mama’s Love now?

Yeah...*looks in his eyes*

I see it shining in there, you’re full to the top, and you’re smiling!

Y’all. You may not be 8! You may be 28, 38, 48 or whatever- but ALL of us run on empty just like he did.

His weekend was so busy and so full and his little soul was just dry!!!

We all have to pause and take a moment to REFILL the GOOD Things. Scripture, prayer, sunshine, worship, song, laughter, friends, hugs.

Refill your empty tank, or you’ll find those emotions (tears, anger, snappy words) overflowing with no reason why.

Take a moment. REFILL. It IS the most important part of your day!

LORD JESUS, we come to You this day because the emotional roller-coaster we have been riding has been non-stop over the events of the past months. The assassination attempt on President Trump and the revealing of massive corruption by high-ranking government officials is much worse than we ever imagined.

So Living Water flowing through God, we thirst for more of You Fill our hearts and flood our souls with one desire Just to know You and to make You known We lift Your Name on high Shine like the sun, make darkness run and hide We know we were made for so much more than ordinary lives!

It's time for us to more than just survive

We were made to THRIVE!
