We're All Thirsty
Read Jeremiah 2:13
(13) “My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.” Jeremiah 2:13

One of the most important truths in this passage is that God never criticizes His people for being thirsty.
The problem wasn't their thirst.
The problem was where they went to satisfy it.
And honestly, the same is true for us.
We're all thirsty for something.
Thirsty for purpose.
Thirsty for meaning.
Thirsty for love.
Thirsty for significance.
God created us that way.
The question isn't whether you're thirsty.
The question is where you're drinking.
Because if you look to anything besides God to satisfy your deepest needs, you'll eventually discover it can't.
