My wife and I, along with some family, have been at Orange Beach for a few days. I'm reminded of why so many people love coming here, and for many reasons. The relaxing sound of waves, restoration of the soul, discovery of something special along the shoreline, the gorgeous creation of every day's sunrises and sunsets or just a place to get away and rest. 

Tomorrow we will be leaving this place of paradise and getting back to the daily grind at home. It would be nice to take a piece of this vacation with us, but it will have to come in the form of memories and photographs. 

John 4:13-14 NKJV

[13] Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,  [14] but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

Today's verse comes from the story of the woman at the well. There, Jesus meets a woman who has had many relationships, trying to find love, yet she leaves one for another, and was currently living with a man who was not her husband. Jesus offered her something more, something lasting, that is eternal life. A secure and wonderful relationship with the Creator of the universe, and with a purpose for her existence. 

Still today, Jesus offers this same friendship invitation to you. Maybe you've been searching for something more, something fulfilling, something you can treasure in your heart, or simply some inner peace in this chaotic world. Come to Jesus Christ today. He offers all of that and more. I can tell you His offerings are like standing on the most beautiful beach times 1,000. 

Hebrews 13:5 Let  your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 

Nothing this world offers can match His peace, His love, and His acceptance. And best of all, He will never leave you with just a memory. Call out to Him today. God bless.
