TOTD, Feb 23-24

Never Thirsty

Imagine that you're walking in a very hot weather. But you haven't got any water with you. Once you found the water, you might directly drink it to satisfy your thirst.
But then as soon as you walk again, you'll feel the need of water kept coming back again.
That's normal. And that's what Jesus said, " Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again."

But Jesus is different. He gives us the water that will make us never thirsty. His Water is like a living water that dwells inside of our heart.
Once we drink His water of life, we could feel relieved.
So, are you tired of searching the happiness in this life? If you're searching in this world, of course you won't find it.
The true happiness, the pure joy comes from Him.
Ask Him to satisfy your thirst with His water. We will never thirsty again! (-fon-)

Jesus said, "Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst—not ever."
--- John 4:13-14


Rejoice in Sufferings
No one would ever expect bad things in their life. People would always hope the best that everything always run smoothly according to their plan.
But, is there any chance that we could never face any trials in this world?
The fact is we must face the sufferings, we must face problems, like or dislike, we can't never avoid it.

God has told us to rejoice. Even in the bad times of a life. Even in the middle of our sufferings.
Because our sufferings would produce perseverance, then character and hope.
We know why we rejoice, because we put our hope in God.
We're not concentrating on the problems, but we're focusing on God instead. And we know, in Him we still have hope for the better. In Him, we know these all things will only bring goodness for us.
Rejoice! In good times, and especially in our sufferings. No matter what, rejoice!
(-fon-)

Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
--- Romans 5:3-4
