"Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst." --John 4:14
He who is a believer in Jesus finds enough in his Lord to satisfy him now, and to content him for evermore.
The believer is not the man whose days are weary for want of comfort, and whose nights are long from absence of heart-cheering thought, for he finds in christ 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, he will eat the bread of heaven; drive him away from friendship, he will meet the "friend that sticketh closer than a brother." Blast all his gourds, and he will find shadow beneath the Rock of Ages; sap the foundation of his earthly hopes, but his heart will still be fixed, trusting in the Lord.
The heart is as insatiable as the grave till Jesus enters it, and then it is a cup full to overflowing!
